Kaneki remembers Hide dying. He remembers the blood and warmth leaving the blonde’s body as Kaneki stood frozen in shock at the sight. Kaneki remembers holding Hide as the blonde took his last breath. He remembers pain so strong that all of his other senses became numb. He remembers walking towards the strongest investigator with Hide’s cooling body. He remembers facing his death and how the stinging pain he felt in his neck as it was cut pales in comparison to the pain of losing Hide. He remembers the darkness and a familiar voice calling his name. So why is it that he woke up? He wants death. A life without Hide is not worth living and he wants to go home with the blonde. So why is he now staring at a brightly lit white ceiling surrounded by the whirs and beeps of machines? Can he not just die? Did they think that sparing a ghoul that murdered and killed their friends is justice? Can’t they see that life without Hide is just not life? The sound of a door opening followed by footsteps were heard as a chair –Kaneki assumes it’s a chair- was dragged on what sounded like tiled floor.
