It's good to be creeped out, Kaneki thinks that's how most people would be even without the power excuse. How Will managed not to become weirded out by it so far, it's only because he had been a cannibal as well - even if not out of his own decision.
"In ghoul society as well. It's considered a taboo and something ghouls don't admit to so easily, even if they know it happens." he remembers Uta and a small group of ghouls who were trying to scare him mention it. Kaneki didn't pay mind to it at the time, because as a half-human-half-ghoul, cannibalism is something he does regardless of the species he consumes. "Ghoul flesh also tastes disgusting. Like... rotten fish encased in pig intestines." he is descriptive. Ghouls can't make these comparisons, but Ken manages to be able to do them since he was a human before - not that he has tasted rotten fish and pig intestines, but he has tasted bad food in his life. "Ghouls don't eat each other because they are hungry."
Kaneki ate ghouls instead of humans and he preferred it that way because it was two in one: it ceased his hunger and it gave him power. The power part was the selling point.
He watches Will for a moment. He is someone whose world was normal. Normal as it could be of course. But there were no ghouls and no powerful people, kaneki knows this. He is startled and Kaneki knows this too, but he isn't going to back away after having admitted to such thing. He doesn't really admit it to many people, but in truth? Many people in his world knew what Kaneki's diet consisted of.
"Yes. It is power." he is being literal, but vague. Kaneki could tell Will about how he was tortured for ten days by a ghoul who gained most of his power consuming other ghouls. That Yamori taught him about eating others. But Ken doesn't want to go there; his head is already so loud and he doesn't want to suddenly go.... crazy and make a scene. "Will- I'm going to show you my kagune. Don't be scared; I can control it and it won't hurt you. I'm not going to hurt you." Will probably read somewhere in kaneki's file about a kagune, but it's all weird theory and words until you actually see it.
Kaneki leans back, and rises his shirt to expose his lower back - or the kagune would just rip through his shirt he is always ruining shirts it's a pain in the ass - and from his waist one single red tentacle rips through. It literally rips through the skin since it comes from an organ inside, but there is little blood. limb is red, shiny, with scales, and it'll be smooth to the touch; not particularly hot but not cold either. It looks like a snake, but it's incredibly hard and sturdy.
