When the CCG took me from Mama they began to train me to become an investigator.
[Meaning he's never really had much of a choice. He's been too much of a liability to be let out of the CCG's sight. There was only so much rehabilitation a child like Juuzou could undergo. Damaage had been done that was irreversible. Even now he lived at the CCG, not really fully integrated into society. It's a work in progress.]

I don't mind it. I wanted my own Quinque and I got one! (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜
[He'd thought Juuzou might hate ghouls because of how they treated him, but that didn't seem to be the case. Kaneki wasn't as sure over text, but the way he spoke of "Mama" didn't seem disdainful, despite what Kaneki had read about how he'd been treated.
He's reminded of something else he read in Juuzou's file.]

I saw that you occasionally use the name "Jason." Is there a reason why you do that?
You might've killed him, but Kaneki was the one who broke him first. He still has his mask at home, tucked away in a drawer—just like how he still has Yamori's words in his head every once in a while, speaking in a voice that he couldn't make himself.]

I've been... told it's something I tend to do a lot of.
[He honestly feels he has a lot to apologize for, though little tends to be his fault, strictly-speaking.]

How old were you when the CCG rescued you?
If you mind me asking.

10? 12? I'm not sure. I don't really remember...but it was around then. Maybe 11?
no subject
It must've been...
[Kaneki isn't even sure how to finish it. He'd been in Yamori's hands for ten days. He couldn't even imagine ten or more years.]
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
Did you become an investigator because of what the ghouls had put you through?

Cause I killed him. I'm "Jason" now. They made a Quinque out of him for me.
FROM: suzuya.juuzou@cdc.org
Juuzou, Rei-chan, Jason - they're all me. I'm Juuzou the most, though.

There's a minute or two that pass before Kaneki replies.]
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
So you're the one who found him, then.
no subject
Yup! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
no subject
I believe I softened him up for you.
[You're welcome.

no subject
Oh, did you? Thanks!
no subject
You're welcome. [If spoken aloud, it would've sounded stilted.]
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
You were there at Aogiri's base, then?
I didn't see you.
[At least, he doesn't think so. There were... parts of it that were... a little hazy. Before Yomo and the others had found him.]
no subject
I was. I saw you, but it was from a distance.
no subject
Oh.
How did the CCG find out about that base? I always wondered that.
[It'd been pretty opportune timing; even stranger since so many of the Aogiri higher-ups were absent that night.]
no subject
I don't know. I'm only a second class investigator. They don't tell me everything.
no subject
Oh.
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
Also... did you happen to be included in the investigators that infiltrated Doctor Kanou's lab?
no subject
I was. My guts spilled out a bit then.
no subject
..."A bit?" [It's probably not best if he asks too much about that, though.]
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
Which ghoul did that to you?
[One of his own? Surely not Banjou and most likely not the trio, but Tsukiyama...]
no subject
Yeah. I pushed them back in though so I'm okay.
FROM: suzuya.juuzou@cdc.org
They were twins...I think their names were Kurona Yasuhisa and Nashiro Yasuhisa.
FROM: suzuya.juuzou@cdc.org
They didn't used to be ghouls. Not when I knew them.
FROM: suzuya.juuzou@cdc.org
They're probably dead now though. I got them back. (*`へ´*)
no subject
I... see.
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
Yes, I encountered the twins myself.
I believe they were made into half-ghouls the same way I was. By Kanou.
FROM: kaneki.ken@cdc.org
You knew them from when they were human?
no subject
Yeah. They were going to become CCG investigators like me.
no subject
And instead they became... like me.
I think I'm going to think on all this for a while. I'll speak to you again later, Suzuya-san.
no subject
Okay.
