[almost was not had done; humans and ghouls were both flawed creatures; Kaneki almost became the monster they feared, but he had not and would not, and it was unlikely knowledge of any future event would shake Hideyoshi's conviction. so he believed - but then, he hadn't heard the other's recounting of the moments in his world before his arrival.]
[there was... something. he'd thought the undercurrent of distress had been related to the other's ghoul persuasion was now open knowledge between them, but as time went on, he had to wonder if there wasn't more. that they could come from different points in time was a possibility, but not one he paid much attention to. Kaneki should have been grievously injured when they first met; yet, it made no sense for their employers to send them to the field with injuries.]
[so there had to be something else. no, no, he was over-analyzing (he always over-analyzed), it could be-- an extension of-- the worries related to a friendship between human and ghoul--?]

[at this point, it had to be something else.]
no kidding! [badmouthing ALASTAIR wasn't new even by this early point. regardless, Kaneki was someone he could be fully blunt with - though ALASTAIR undoubtedly had access to all text messages, he couldn't imagine why they'd care. (a full change in subject. the half-ghoul could breath easier now).] talk about disorganized! do they want us to make all our own calls? do they think this motley crew has any sense of justice beyond "i'll do this because i can?"
no subject

it's stupid, and absolutely absurd.
