“You.” Urie screeches to a halt before his former sensei. “What are you doing here?”
“I assume you’re here to kill us.” Kaneki seems sad by the idea, almost like he cares.
“I’m the only one here.” Urie was actually in the forest to search for something dead to quell his hunger, but Kaneki can’t know what he’s become.
“Really?” Kaneki steps closer and sniffs. “Urie.”
“Don’t say it!” Urie scowls.
“You framed out.”
“I said don’t say it!” Urie claps his hands over his ears, just like a child.
“Urie, you know I still love you all.”
“Then why did you go?” Urie looks up, and Kaneki’s shocked to see tears in his eyes. He has matured. “Mutsuki’s barely recognizable, Saiko still cries over you, the new Quinx hate you…we all hate you, actually! You broke our hearts!”
There he is, the Urie Kaneki remembers. “I’m sorry.”
“Sorry?” Urie spits.
“How can we help you?” A blue-haired woman – Urie recognizes her as the manager of Re cafe – slips out from behind a tree.
“I don’t know.” Urie squeezes his eyes shut. When he opens them, the woman is holding out a chunk of meat to him.
He takes it. “Thank you.”
Urie said thank you. Kaneki just wants to hug him.
“I guess you could start by explaining yourself,” Urie says between bites.
