[ she probably didn't want to worry Josuke and hurt him with something like that. Just the way Kaneki doesn't want others to know what he went through either, the reason why he has white hair, the reason why all of his fingernails turned black, the reason why his hands are so cold now, the reason he is always picking at his ear, the reason sometimes he stops and counts one thousand minus seven, or the reason he makes weird pauses when he is talking.
He doesn't want anyone knowing any of that.
Kaneki shakes his head ]
I wouldn't hurt you. [ he can't bring himself to say "never" because he doesn't know. Kaneki turned into a monster - he IS a monster - and there are things he wants to promise, but it was +proved to him that he can't keep that. "I will never hurt you" is one of those things; sometimes, he needs to hurt the people he loves. The only promise he can make for sure is "I'll protect you".

As he feels Josuke's hand, Ken smiles a bit. ]
Thank you.
