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 ]

I would be afraid of destroying your house, though.

So perhaps the park or... is there an empty gym somewhere? [ kaneki doesn't actually get that embarrassed about it, he finds it normal to train and exercise]

[ .... ]

Sure, the park would be fine, or we can find some empty building, but.. why would you destroy my house?

I'm afraid you might have a slightly wilder idea of karate than its reality.

[ Says a man whose home literally got wrecked by a bunch of kids doing karate once--

But, look, that's different. The problem here is more just Daniel not realising that Kaneki might be a little stronger than Daniel is assuming. ]

[ or maybe he is just inhumanly strong and is still getting used to his strength. ]

Perhaps. But still, exercising in an apartment or house doesn't sound smart. It's better to do it outside, no?

I actually had an indoor dojo back home, you know.

[ J-Just saying! Though it's not Daniel disagreeing with any of this as much as he just loves his own indoor dojo.. He misses it here so much, he just had to acknowledge it..

But he's quick enough to move on to: ]

But doing it outside would be fine with me. How about the park? There should be enough space to do it there without us bothering anyone.

I don't mind the park at all. I can meet you there whenever you are free.

[miyagimagic]

Sure. I'll let you know when I have some time.

Which will probably be soon enough.

[ Were Daniel an emoji kind of guy, he might have put a wink at the end there.. Look, it's just funny because they all have plenty of free time in this place, alright. No jobs and all that. ]

Yes, I think we all have a lot of time, here.
