[ baby's first network post and it'll be an anonymous text post, because Kaneki's priority is to know just how bad his situation really is without having others freaking out. He has thousands of questions, but none are as important as these: ]

Does anyone know what Ghouls are? Do they exist in your world? Do they exist here?

[ why all of that ]

I see. [ he doesn't see it at all. How do you bring someone back from the dead??? ] I'm glad they were able to help you.

I hope I didn't frighten you.
I know many people have trouble seeing past the odd parts of me.

[anthropophagite]

It's strange for me, and I'd probably be a bit scared if I was told that face to face.

But I'm asking about ghouls, who are scary too, so it's alright.

[burntbridges]

Would it be out of line to ask why you're so interested in ghouls?

[anthropophagite]

Anything and anyone can pass through that gate thing we arrived from. Ghouls can too.

[burntbridges]

So you're afraid of finding some... well, the best way to handle that is to simply prepare yourself. So, if one should turn up, how does one defend oneself?

[anthropophagite]

I don't know anything about that. [ he doesn't want to create a CCG here, no matter how scary ghouls can be. ] I don't know how to do that.

[burntbridges]

Well, then that would be troublesome.

It might benefit you to put them out of your mind,
and simply build your own defenses. It would be bad to be caught unaware, but worse to be fearful beyond reason.

[anthropophagite]

But if they are here, they'll be like you and me. I mean, living here and trying to get back.

We would end up having to live with them, right?
