Hello.
My name is Ken Kaneki, I'm 18 years old and I come from Tokyo in Japan. I have just arrived.

There are still many things I don't understand about this place. But I'm curious, is there a library in this place? Or a bookshop? Or any place for me to find books?

And where do people live? Do you just take a room for yourselves, like everything else? [ it just sounds wrong... ]

What are we meant to do here? [ what is the point of being here, he wonders ]

Thank you to everyone who helped me when I first arrived on the train. And everyone who answers this post. [ he is very polite indeed ]

Thank you, Midoriya-san.
I will try to find those stores.

[ but at the mention of the building where more people live, kaneki is actually interested. He is no good on his own, even though he is a loner. And while he won't be sharing an actual house with anyone, living near someone when the city is this empty, sounds like a good idea ]

Would that be alright? I don't wish to impose.

[fullgauntlet]

If you need any help or someone to go with you, let me know.

[And he totally gets the sentiment about not wanting to be alone in this weird bizarre empty city. It's strangely lonely. Not to mention all the creepy eeriness.]

I'm sure it'll be fine! There are a few of us there now and there are plenty of apartments you can pick for your own space. Some of my classmates are there and a few other boys I've met here.

[anthropophagite]

Thank you for all of this.

I think it'd be best if I lived at least where other people live as well. Since this city is so empty, it sounds better to be closer to others. [ basically, he will take that offer to live in the building ]

Do you have people from your world here? I'm glad, this way it won't feel so lonely.

[fullgauntlet]

It definitely helps having others around.

I am lucky that I have some of my classmates here. They're happy to help others too, so don't worry about that either. If you need anything just ask.

[No feeling lonely for any of them. Or so he hopes.]

[anthropophagite]

[ kaneki? asking for help? ahahaha. no, no, that's not a thing he does. ]

Of course. Thank you.
Although I think I'm adapting to this place quite well. [ he is not ]

[fullgauntlet]

Eh? You are? That's good?

[He's sus. Are you SURE.]

I know I couldn't sleep for days when I first got here...

[anthropophagite]

[ he is not sure!! he is, in fact, not sleeping. Because of this place, because of things back home, because life sucks ): ]

Really? Can you sleep now?

[fullgauntlet]

Yes. Well, mostly. Only because Kacchan helps me by training with me until I'm too tired to keep going.

That probably sounds strange. Just, physical activity helps me a lot in general.

[aka, Kacchan and him beat the shit out of each other until Izuku passes out.]

[anthropophagite]

[ please don't do that! Take better care of yourself ]

I think it'd help anyone.
But it's also important not to overdo it.

[fullgauntlet]

Don't worry, I'm trying to tell myself that too. Hahah...

If you're ever feeling too awake and can't sleep I could offer to go for a jog with you or something, though?

[anthropophagite]

Oh, thank you.
I don't mind company if you don't mind me being a bit slow.

[ he isn't slow, he is a ghoul after all. But Kaneki has the terrible habit to always put himself down ]

[fullgauntlet]

That's fine! I'm good at walking, too.

[He laughs softly.]

I'm a bit of a night bird too, so... It's no trouble.

[anthropophagite]

Thank you very much, Midoriya-san.

Let me know when you'd like to go together.

🎀

[fullgauntlet]

I'd like to! I'll do that! Take care for now, Kaneki-san.
