[ as someone who has lived in both worlds? Yes. Yes, it is. ]
Josuke, a ghoul needs at least to feed a body a month in order to survive. This means in one year, a ghoul eats 12 people. [ he looks down at his own fingers, cold and rough, and thick black fingernails ] After 16 years, a ghoul has eaten over 150 people. And I'm being generous, there aren't many ghouls who only eat the minimum amount. Regardless, ghouls walk their lives on top of human remains. How do you think they see life when this is how they live? To them, you are are "fish", "steak", "rice", "soup". But, while you'd never eat an animal who can talk to you, ghouls do. In fact, many find pleasure that humans can talk-

[ kaneki has killed so many ghouls who think like that he has lost count. And he has eaten all of them. And it's funny, because he too likes to hear them beg.
there is a loud noise inside Kaneki's head. he can't focus on it, or he will forget what he is saying, but there is a weird pause. ] It's alright if you don't see the difference. It's good.
it means you haven't lived it. [ And that's why it's so difficult for Josuke or Hide or Touka to see and understand why Kaneki is honestly not angry at Suzuya, why he isn't going after him and try to murder the guy as revenge. In fact, Kaneki DID thank him. ] I prefer that. [ he looks away again, thoughtful. Why to address him so politely? Well, Ken is still very polite even if messed up in the head ]
I don't think the existence of Ghoul Investigators like Suzuya is wrong. You see, it's a warped world and so people in it become warped too. [ eat or be eaten. Is it wrong for a person to eat their enemies before they eat them, and is it wrong for the enemy to hold the same thought? ]
The me that Suzuya-san knows is a danger. That's all he knows and that's all he saw. [ when he met Kaneki in their world... how insane was he at the time? Kaneki remembers he nearly killed one of his friends, the ones he wanted to protect, with all that insanity. And the kaneki Suzuya killed last month? It was exactly the same.
He was not wrong for killing Kaneki.
he looks back at Josuke, a sad smile across his lips. Sad because he knows this for sure: ] I did nearly kill my best friend, Josuke. And I ate the leg of another. And lucky me Hazel doesn't die, or she'd be dead.
If I had killed any of them then, I don't think I could have taken it. [ and Kaneki can take so much. He really can - but not that. ]
