[ kaneki doesn't mind silence. before, he'd try to make an excuse to speak, to talk, awkwardly trying not to be a bother or a bore, even if he became used to Annie's silences and even came to enjoy them. Now, Kaneki's mind is always racing and when it's not he feels like he is being eaten alive; there are very rare moments when he is in complete silence.
Today is a good day because he doesn't hear a thing anymore.
And they are sill walking, so that's good too. Kaneki still needs to see the rest of the city and memorize what coffee shops are there. The ones to avoid, too. Good coffee, he wonders if that even exists here.
The silence is only broken after he looks down at his own hand and remembers Hinami-chan asking him to hold hands. At that time, he thought how nice it was, the touch of another person, of someone you care for, after so long of only using your hands to hurt and eat. And that's why he will spread out his callous and always cold hand and offer it to Annie ]
Can we hold hands?
[ it won't mean a thing to her, but it means to Kaneki. Even if she refuses for whatever reason, he won't mind, but he still wants to ask. ]
