[Josuke can't help it—the look he gives Kaneki then is quite incredulous.]
You think the 'human world' is any different?
[He could get angry at the implication that he doesn't know any better, but instead...he's just going to get serious. Maybe even grim, which isn't commonly seen for someone with his disposition, but if showing that side is what it takes for Kaneki to realize he's not some dumb kid, then that's what he'll do.]
People aren't all friendly, I'm not sure why you gotta sit there and separate them by human and ghoul. The world's an unfriendly place by default, that's just how it is—but the only horror that really exists is what we make for ourselves and others. Species doesn't really matter.
In fact, that's probably the most glaring but also insignificant difference of them all...
[He stands, needing to—to do something with himself. His hands, his feet, to move so that the frustration he's feeling, that's beginning to build up again, doesn't overflow.]
I've seen...things. People who've been mutated, people who've been used by their own families and treated like expendable objects, and I've seen people who've been blown apart or fused together with others and stored like food. So don't try and spare me, okay? Because what you're telling me, it's really not a whole lot different from what I already know.
So don't tell me what I can and can't imagine.
[He might be fortunate for not having been exposed to an abundance of the world's horrors, but he still knows what's out there. All those things that ghouls do, humans do also.]
As for Suzuya...I really don't care what he thinks is wrong or right, and I don't care about 'teaching' him. I care about seeing him caught and kept from hurting others again. [Which brings him around to...] Why the hell you gotta be so formal when talking about him, anyway? It's not like he's earned it. Don't tell me you're...really that grateful?
