....

When I woke up, I was locked inside a prison cell wearing white and I am chained on a chair with my two hands at my back. 

"Where am I?" I asked. 

I wasn't given an answer. Instead, I was given a huge amount of RC Suppressant on my eyelids by someone which made me shake on my chair and feel so much pain. Blood oozed out on both of my eyelids which made it hard to see even with glasses on.

The only thing I could see is the blood pouring out of my eyes.

When my body became as soft as a human, I could sense that I am being tortured repeatedly. A strong whip keeps on striking my legs and arms until it bleeds. He doesn't stop there. He holds my shoulders and he dislocates them which makes me scream harder. 

When the bleeding stops in both of my eyelids, he strikes them again with a needle while he gives me a different dose of a chemical that makes me vomit.

A week passed through like that.

There was a time that due to it that I lost my five senses, and because my stomach is growling a lot, I bit his hand which earned me a huge punch coming from him. The taste of his blood made me want to eat him but I couldn't move at all.

The chains behind me seemed to be made from a kagune and steel. It is too strong that even I try to get my hands out, I could feel that it could cut my wrists and ankles. My white clothes were once white but after a week of torture, it turned red already. 

When will my father and his group appear? 

My torturer had already began torturing me more when he began cutting my own nails and taking them out. Blood oozes out of it and when it regrows, he takes them out again. "Arima Kousei, you won't need to be here if you just give your loyalty to Chairman Washuu," he informed me. "If you say no, I'm going to let you get bitten repeatedly by a pit bulldog."

"No. I better die than get used!" I screamed. 

In an instant, he takes a hot steel and takes them on my chest. I screamed a lot as I could feel my chest burning. He leaves and when he returned, he pours a very hot water on my head.

"Keep saying no and you will stay inside this torture room, you hear me!!!!?" he warned me. 

...

He did lie. He never had any pit bulldog. 

I could feel myself palpitating and shaking inside. 

I'm dying aren't I?

I opened my eyes and when I looked up, a strange girl is in front of me. She's so beautiful and elegant.  "Forgive me, dear Kousei-kun," she said to me. Her eyes were looking straight inside me, too. 

"Who are you?" I asked her. 

"Me? I'm Kamishiro Miki. I failed to eat you, remember?" she answered me. 

I was shocked and I felt strange on my chair. 

Why am seeing her? 

Am I dead, already?

She grinned at me. "You remember!!!"

"Why me? Because of you, my life has been in hell!" I cried. 

She held my cheeks and went closer to me so that I could see her bronze eyes. 

"I gave you a life of a hell? That's the funniest sentence I ever heard from you!!!" she laughed at me.

"What do you mean?" I asked her angrily. 

Suddenly, she takes me away from my torture room and I felt like I was sent in a different dimension where she showed me my past with my mom. I looked up and saw the past me forcing himself to play the piano in competitions to make my mom smile for me. I was reminded that I never looked at the ranking and in turn, I always know that I have won. She also showed me the event that turned me tone deaf before I met Miyazono Kaori. I screamed to my mom that I wish her to die. I couldn't believe that my mom would really leave me. I may have had Watari and Tsubaki beside me at those miserable times but they were nothing to me. 

Tsubaki... Where are you now?

She also showed me the time I lost my sense of hearing.

I stopped playing the piano at the age of eleven. I just restarted again at the age of fourteen when an out of control violinist appeared before me.

I had always lived in hell... that is what she means to tell me.

I was only in heaven for a while but I don't belong there.

She brought me back in my water world where she hugged me tightly. She's on top of me as she say words that I easily discerned.

"Can you hear me, dear Kousei-kun?" she asked me. 

I nodded. 

I could hear her. 

"Do you want power?" she asked me. 

"I want power, yes," I replied back to her. 

At that moment, she suddenly showed me her past. She showed me how she lived as a princess in China. I stood in a garden filled with red spider lilies and roses. When I looked up, she made me stare at the beautiful woman wearing a golden, Chinese dress which seemed to flow so elegantly. Her eyes were also obviously that of a ghoul. 

"She's Queen Jiao, my adopted mother." she told me.

"Why did you bring me here?" I asked her. 

"For you to know me more, of course," she skipped toed and kissed me. "I knew all along the truth about your blood line. I badly wanted to eat you as my meal but your father killed me after I appeared in front of him. I liked him, you know? What makes me irritated was that he never liked me! I knew his secret and targeted you. It was a wrong decision, though but I guess, I don't regret targeting you. I never knew that at this moment of time, you will wake me up. I guess it's fine that I wasn't able to eat you. At least I am able to live inside you."

I kissed her back and hugged her. "What do you want me to do?"

"In China, humans could live equally along with ghouls. The ghouls that eat and binge on humans were killed easily by their fellow ghouls. The battle in China between ghouls is worse than your situation. Here, the battle is all about between two kinds but in China, the battle's all about survival and so, I ate my sisters. I ate them all, Arima Kousei!!!!" she burst out laughing darkly. "If I don't, they will destroy me."

Her eyes began to be red and black when she looked back at me, "In my surprise, I am not truly a princess. I escaped China before another ghoul eats me. Yes, The battle in China is all about survival. Not existence! It's funny that CCG doesn't even know their higher up, Chairman Washuu is actually a ghoul!"

After she said that, she looked back at me. "For you to gain the power you seek, remember this, Arima Kousei. Humans and ghouls should be given the same amount of love and respect. Do not fight using anger. You do belong in the world where two kinds could live side by side and criminals are persecuted. Not all ghouls eat live humans and you know that. We are not animals. We know emotions the same way as them. You can stay in the middle like you always want to. Most of all, I hope you become like my mother who was able to overthrow the organization that gave China intense fear and turn it into a blood bath. Humans must learn where they should be. Ghouls should be allowed to live the same way they do!"

I was awakened suddenly and in my surprise, I heard someone tell my torturer, "It's time to end his suffering. You are allowed to kill him!" His words horrified me. 

I can't die here!

Father... 

Where are you?

Father!

....

My eyes are turning blank. My whole body is aching and my stomach is in pain. "You could have been allowed to keep living if you just gave your loyalty to Chairman Washuu," my torturer told me.  I never even seen his face as my head kept on lolling down.

"No," I replied to him.

"Since he doesn't have any use of you if you're not loyal, you are about to be exterminated. You are a big waste, you know? You're a great pianist and a strong quinque," he told me.

I hated him more when he just called me a quinque. "I'm not a quinque! I am a ghoul!"

"Goodbye, Arima Kousei. In five minutes after I give you poison, you're already dead," he said to me. He was about to give it to me when I heard something crash down. In my surprise, Kaneki entered my torture room and released me. 

He looked at my eyes and told me, "Your eye color changed."

I just stared at him. My glasses are all but cracked but I could see clearly. 

"Your eyes turned amber," he told me. 

I stood up and asked, "How?"

"I'll explain to you as we get out!" he said to me. 

We quickly went out of the torture room and as we are running, that was when I realized that my father ordered Aogiri Tree to rescue and storm Cochlea. There were a lot of dead humans and ghouls around the area. Most of all, I could hear a lot of explosions everywhere. I hope I can get out of here with all the ghouls and humans that I care safely.
