[In a way, Kaneki knows that it's a truth that can't be dodged forever. He's not as good of a liar as he thinks he is, especially when approached point-blank, and if one looked carefully enough, all of the clues are there. He only hopes that everyone else would be too absorbed in their own lives to care too much about his own. Especially if ALISTAIR remained good on their promise to keep him properly supplied with food, it would never become an issue.
He doesn't reply. It's not as though Kaneki would ever tell anyone else suffering from strife in their own world based on what they were that theirs was not as dire of a situation as his own simply because those particular differences. It made the issue that much more strenuous for his own world, but it wouldn't devalue the struggles of anyone else. Thus, he had largely kept out of the conversation, unwilling to speak too much and too openly about ghouls and how they functioned in society.
But—
The attention-grabbing statement, floating in digital subspace for several long seconds, makes him feel anxious. That anxiousness is actualized when the question is finally posed.
