[ Sasaki will be using audio for this because it's much easier when you can't see his face. ] ... I think I'm done running from the elephant in the room.

Three years ago, SS rated ghoul Ken Kaneki was captured by the CCG and lost his memories. And from that, I came to existence. I'm legally a human, but not biologically, and I have no memories beyond the three years I've lived. [ so yes. Haise is technically Kaneki ] I know that this body is Kaneki's, and I know that Kaneki is somewhere inside my head I don't really remember anything about Kaneki's life; I don't know who his mother is, I don't know how he met his little sister, and I don't know what he felt when he woke up after being turned into an artificial ghoul.

But ever since I stepped out of the Porter, I know everything that Kaneki felt and lived while in this world. I know the people he met here and matter to him, I know his sadness and his loneliness, I know his happiness and I know his feelings. It's as if these are my memories, even though I'm not Kaneki. I'm not; I'm just... a dream. With two years worth of memories.

[ there is a moment of silence as sasaki tries to gather his thoughts ]

I know Kaneki will slowly take over, and with time all of the memories will return and I will no longer be Sasaki. I will be replaced with the real thing. And yet, I really want to exist. I don't want to fade away, that's why- it was really scary when I arrived here, when I looked at your faces, everytime you called me Kaneki, everytime you expected him.

I still can't tell you what is happening. It's a mess. [ he sighs, defeated ] About that night when Kaneki went crazy and attacked people- I remember it all as if I was the one doing it, so I want to apologize. I'll be visiting the native victims, and the imPorts he hurt and attacked, I'm terribly sorry for what has happened. And the person who triggered that whole mayhem- [ sasaki isn't going to say the name; he knows who it is ] We are going to talk.

I've...I've been okay.

[ to her credit, she tries to make it sound genuine, even if she fails horribly. ]

I haven't been doing much.

Where have you been?

I went back to the apartment with Onee-chan. But I...haven't seen her in a while.

...

[ he can't leave her alone. Not just because she is a tiny ghoul who will have to feed, but because he remembers those two years and how much Hinami means to him.

he can't leave her because she means the world to him. ]

There is still a free room in this house. Do you want to move in?

...I can?

... if you want.

I'd like that. I miss you, Onii-chan.

[ he is used to be called that, not only to those two years he remembers, but also because back in their world, Hinami called Haise that, no matter what Haise told her ]

... I miss you too, Hinami-chan. [ he does, he really does.

But- ]

... my memories aren't- I don't have any memories from before Kaneki arrived here. [ he doesn't remember how they met ]

O-oh.

I can tell you when I come over? About us.

... [ he isn't back home over the CCG; it's fine if he knows, right? ]

I would like that,
