[ Kanaya turns on the camera, glancing at a distant point to the side, wearing a great scowl. ]

Have you ever had those days when you've had to empty out your savings to relocate friends whose lives are in active danger?

Well, happy birthday to me.

[ She finally looks at the camera directly, as Ashiah can be seen bumbling across the wall behind her. ] I think it's time to admit I need a new weapon. The Porter recently took the one I've relied upon for years, and this [ She brings her hand up, holding a large knife. ] has proven a feeble replacement. I'd prefer something with more weight and reach, something that can actually deal damage. Motorized, if possible.

So, I'm open to suggestions. If you craft any yourself, sell me on your product. I'm willing to learn something new, but no firearms. They don't agree with my style.

Yeah... probably. I don't think much about it, honestly.

[glowsferatu]

I can imagine why not.

[ You are hitting people with an organ, son. You're lucky it doesn't smell bad. Hopefully it doesn't smell bad. ]

[ ghouls hit people with organs all the time. The thing here is that this is made from ghouls they have killed.

Plus - Sasaki's mother has a quinque made out of Hinami's mother. So... awkward? ]

it's a necessary weapon, regardless. There is no other way to fight the ghouls.

[glowsferatu]

If that's true, I have to wonder how the first quinque was extracted.

Ghouls can die of age, due to freak accidents or because they kill each other. A building falling on a ghoul would kill it.

[glowsferatu]

And a witness to something of the sort...must have concluded the organs effectiveness? How prolific are ghouls on your world, Sasaki?

From what I know of them, I'm a little surprised they aren't the dominant species.

Ghouls' reproduction is similar to human's, but as ghouls are violent in nature- [ according to the CCG and Sasaki sure isn't going to say they are wrong - but they are ] -they don't find a partner so easily, I suppose. [ thus lower number of ghoul babies ]

Ghouls themselves keep their numbers supposedly low, in a way. [ supposedly. Many ghouls probably live pretending they are humans and nobody realizes it ]

[glowsferatu]

So, what you're saying is that ghouls could have the potential to rule, but between their numbers--and, I'm sure, the efforts of your commission--they simply lack the collective motivation and organization to do anything about it?

[dualismum]

Exactly. Unfortunately, they've realized that themselves too. It's not rare for ghouls to band together and form gangs, groups - but these groups often fight among themselves and they are far too small.

However, "Aogiri Tree" came to existence and things got even more dangerous. They are a terrorist organization of ghouls that has usurped the power in the one of Tokyo's Wards and has been actively combating the CCG, inflicting heavy losses on us. Currently, they are the biggest threat we are facing, exactly because these ghouls have finally found collective motivation and organization.

So, your commission is the only thing that stands a chance of holding them at bay?

[ That explains a lot, if he is Kaneki, why a ghoul would be a part of such a group. From what she could tell, he was always very conscientious about the way he fed, much like she is.

When the alternative is mass murder, well. Maybe it wouldn't be such an unreasonable alliance. ]

[ Video ]

[dualismum]

Yes, it is. we are doing everything we can.

[ kaneki was too fighting Aogiri. Not because of such selfless reasons as "protecting everyone" but because the doctor who turned him into this is part of Aogiri. because they kidnapped Kaneki, tortured him, and eventually they attacked his friends and home.

Haise's reasons are indeed about protecting people from all that Aogiri has done - but he also fights them because this is his duty. if he doesn't do this, then he is worthless - and he will be disposed of. he will lose his family, his life, his place in the world. ]

[ Doing the right thing out of self interest, well, Kanaya is practical. The ultimate result is still that the right thing is done. Self-interest and self-worth have never come to her easily to begin with, she's had to come to terms with what's acceptable through them. ]

Then I hope you'll be successful with it, when you return.
