"It can't be.....I'm not a ghoul!" I cried seeing half my tears were blood. I suddenly felt someone pat my head and a cold hand stroke my cheek wiping away my tears.

"My sister can be mean at times but please just remain your identity a secret", he looked at me in the eye and lifted out his hand as he stood up. "Stay safe."

I placed my hand on his then he pulled me up.

"Who are you?" I asked placing my hand on his mask.

"My name's Ayato, nice to meet you", he let go of my hand and disappeared into thin air.

"Ayato ... I'll never forgot that name", I took a look at my hand and smiled.

The Next Day At Anteiku

"Get me a coffee please!" I smiled as I opened my door into Anteiku.

"Yoriko! You came!" Touka beamed.

"Sure I did, ummm....can I talk to ya privately?" I asked.

"Sure!" We walked into the room at the back.

"I'm sorry about last night, I guess I overreacted", I smiled.

"It was my fault as well, I should've told you what was going on. I shouldn't have given you that meat without telling you what it was either", Touka frowned.

"We're still friends! Don't worry! But ...... What do I do now? I'm an idol who is now a ghoul, my manager would call the cops on me and Rize's gonna ....... Wait ...... Where's Rize?!"

"I don't know ... I haven't seen her!" Touka explained.

"I forgot about her this entire time! Where is she?!"

"Yoriko ...... Your eye", I took a look in my mirror seeing my ghoul eye came back.

"What do I do? Rize's missing, my eye keeps turning into a ghoul. How am I gonna fix this?!"

"Use something to hide your eye, if you can't control it then you better hide it just in case", Touka sighed.

"Wait, so does this mean the manager's a ghoul?!"

"Everyone who works at Anteiku's a Ghoul!"

"Really? Luckily it's not the same for Rize!" I laughed.

"Actually ......... You see .......... Rize's a ....... Ghoul .. As well."

"What are you saying?" I laughed at her joke.

"It's true! Rize's a ghoul."

"It can't be!"

"And worse ...... She's the Binge Eater."

"Rize ...... She kept it a secret from me this whole time. Why?"

"She did it so she wouldn't lose you!"

"Huh!"

"Rize always talked about what a great friend you were and that she'd risk her life for you! I was shocked of what she said, but it's true!"

"If she said all that then where is she now?!"

Time Skip

"Welcome to Anteiku!" I opened the door being greeted by someone.

"Kaneki? What are you doing here?" I asked sitting down.

"Oh, I just started working here Yoriko-San", he smiled drying the tea cups.

"Is that so?" I watched as the last customer walked out. I locked the door behind him then took a good look at his eyepatch. "How'd you get the eyepatch?" I asked.

"I scratched my eye", he answered.

"Gotcha!" I pulled his eyepatch off. "Wow! A One-Eyed Ghoul like me! I'm not the odd one out anymore!" I beamed at his red eye.
