[ it should matter. Because this is the core of everything that is Kaneki. Guilt personified, self-hatred, self-disgust, and no sense of himself in any single way, and it all stems down from what he did and what he didn't do, the things that happened to him and the consequences of every action he took. It was just four years, and it it reshaped Kaneki again and again, into something worse every time. It may not matter to anyone else what he has done (specially not here) but it doesn't change a thing about the way Kaneki is.

Of course, D33 doesn't know Kaneki and maybe that's why it's so easy to say it doesn't matter. Whatever reason, Kaneki doesn't try to get the other to see it anymore. D33 refuses to break it off, and Kaneki can't be the one to do it because he is in love, too.

The leans forward, pressing his cheek against D33's chest, and stays quiet like that, eyes closed. he doesn't know what else to say, so Kaneki just stays like that, arms still around D33. It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. ]
