[But that's just Kaneki, deciding to be much more active in preying on and disrupting "his own kind"—though that was already a stretch, considering how much derision they used when they spat out the name, "Sekigan."
Sad, though. That was very... personal. Kaneki doesn't reply for a while. When he does, he's a bit avoidant:]

I've known for awhile. You're pretty famous within the CCG, Kaneki-san.

I always wondered what kind of person you would be! ٩(●˙▿˙●)۶
no subject
That's... ah. I had no idea.
[He knew they knew him as "Eyepatch"—and "Centipede," later—but his name. How much had they found out?]
FROM:kaneki.ken@cdc.org
Was there a sort of person the CCG made me out to be, by any chance?
no subject
Not really? I had my own idea of what you might be like though.
no subject
I see. I didn't know if personality factored into investigations on ghouls or not.
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
How do I stack up, then?
no subject
Well it does, but I don't remember anything too specific for you.
FROM: suzuya.juuzou@cdc.org
You're nicer than other ghouls I've dealt with.
FROM: suzuya.juuzou@cdc.org
I always thought you'd be kind of sad though. Are you? ( ・᷄ ︵・᷅ )
no subject
"Nicer"... I can see how you might think that.
There are many ghouls who disagree, though.

Why would you think I'd be sad?

You're only half a ghoul, right?

It isn't fun having to eat people.
no subject
Yes. I was human until a little under a year ago.
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
No, it isn't.
I kept myself from doing it for the longest time, at first, but... it ended up being even worse, in a way.
[He'll realize later that Juuzou had been speaking more from experience rather than hypothetical.]
no subject
Starving is no fun either.
no subject
No, it's not.

I apologize if I was brusque earlier. Today's been difficult.
[With dead bodies laying around, no one using them, and him not being allowed to do anything about it... for the most part.]
no subject
You're apologizing to me? (゜◇゜)
no subject
Yes?
I thought you'd be a lot less cooperative than you're being. I was wrong.
[He's pretty surprised Juuzou would care to help Kaneki at all, considering he was an investigator.]
no subject
I don't get a lot of apologies.
FROM: suzuya.juuzou@cdc.org
Usually I'm the one saying sorry.
no subject
Do others not have anything to apologize to you for, or do they simply not notice or think to do it?
no subject
Both. I do things people don't like sometimes but they also say things I don't like too.
no subject
I suppose while we are here, we will try to avoid doing things that the other doesn't like so we can do whatever the CDC asks?
[Truce...?]
no subject
Okay. ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
