...Not much. I mean. I was... busy. I didn't give up looking for you, not for a minute. I knew you were a ghoul; and I guess I figured if you'd been taken to that place with Aoigiri, it must have been for a reason.

She was worried too, you know. [He shakes his head, adjusting how he's standing a little easier. He can see the worry on Kaneki's face, and it's nearly instinctual, wanting to see the other relax.]

I don't think you died. I really don't. I think you're just... in a situation where you can't contact us. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part, but. ...It helps that there's rumours at the CCG about an 'Eyepatch' ghoul. That's what kept me going, all this time.
