In a place where the light barely touches, Hinami sat on a rusty chair with her hands tied behind her back. Her head limp from passing out but she awakens groggily, "W-what?" she looks around. The room smelled of blood and was darker than night. She could sense a heavy thing swinging at the side of her.

"Hello sweetie, you awake?" a female voice appears and then she could hear footsteps coming closer. Hinami felt something dangerous from her and whimpers. "Get away from me."

"Oh don't be such a spoiled sport. I brought you here to have fun." Her hand gently caresses Hinami's cheek, sliding down towards her jaw "I've never took you as a type to have feelings so early."

Hinami then remembers why she's here. She followed Kaneki to meet a woman and everything turned black, "W-What did you do to him?!" Hinami shrieks assuming the worse.

The lady merely laughs and walks back until turning ON the light. The white light flickered until it steadily kept still, showing everything inside the room. The walls were dressed in blood stains and the smell became fouler now that she could see things. There was a brown table with an assortment of tools used for torturing someone and the heavy thing beside her…

"Kaneki!" Hinami screams, jolting her body towards the lifeless corpse that hung beside her. Kaneki had blood dripping down from unknown places and his eyes rolled back. The lady with blue hair smiles and enjoys the show as Hinami tries her best to get to him but to no avail. Her body is limp when she calmed down, tears streaming down from her eyes.

"Is he…is he dead?" Hinami asked.

The lady smiled twistedly. She nods her head with satisfaction. Hinami stops for a moment, her arm hurting really bad because of sudden outburst from before. It even had wrings of torn skin because she was trying so hard against the chains. But even despite this, she charges head first to the woman. She can sense danger about her. She knows if she fights she will die but she didn't care.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU BITCH!" she yelled at the top of the lungs. Her eyes turning black and her pupil crimson red. The lady snickers, unimpressed and takes off her glove. She then slaps Hinami across the face which causes her head to jump backwards, ultimately knocking her out.

She puts on her glove and closes the door, "That's good Hinami…" she lets out a soft laugh, "That's really good. I think I got a new toy to play with."

Touka walks into the Anteiku, tying her apron behind her back as she looks over to Nishio. Nishio was having problems with the powder dispenser, tinkering with it. Touka walks up to him, "Have you seen Hinami? We're supposed to visit Kaneki today."

"Hinami? No, not since last night." He stabs a screwdriver inside the machine, "I can't get this out." Touka shoves him lightly to the side and grabs the screwdriver from him, "It's because you're lazy. If you want to fix something you can't just break through it." She scowls. Nishio steps back, looking unimpressed, "Yea, yea, just fix the stupid thing."

"Done." Touka handed him the screwdriver and walked to the back room, "I'm going to check up on Hinami, stop being useless Nishio. Useless Nishio." She told him. Nishio squints, "Well screw you!" He yelled at her.

She climbs up the stairs and passes through the playful paintings on the hallway. She arrives to Hinami's door and rapidly knocks on it, "Hinami, help me down stairs so we can finish up early and check on Kaneki." She said. And she waited a few seconds for a response but there wasn't any. She looked a little worried, "Hinami, you okay?"

She opens the door to her room which creates a slight creak. The first thing she could see is the pink carpet and the tan wall. She had cute decorations hanging elsewhere but she could also see that her taste is maturing as she didn't have a lot of the girly stuff she had before.

"Hinami…?" Touka looks and finds her sitting in front of her computer which was completely blank. She steps a little closer and touches her shoulder. Hinami's chair spins around by itself and reveals that she was sleeping. Her eyes were closed and she lets out small, peaceful snores. Touka smiles as she taps on Hinami's face, "Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up." She playfully says. Hinami opens her eyes slowly, rubbing away the sleepiness, "Is it time already?" she asked, indicating to the visit to Kaneki's place.

Touka laughs, "No it isn't time yet and what? You think you can skip out on doing chores. Come down, I got a lot of things for you to do." She proceeds to walk out. Hinami follows behind her, still a little tired but determined, "Yessss…." She responds nonchalantly.

The two walked downstairs and greeted the rest of the staff. They continued the day normally, until Hinami drops a few glasses, "Eh?" Nishio looks at her, "I've never seen you drop anything ever…you okay?" Hinami looked a little flustered but nodded her head, "Just a little sleepy I guess." She responded back with a shaky laugh.

Despite that, the day ran it course and once lunch came to a close. Touka took off her apron and looked over to Yamamoto, "We're going to the library."

"Again? The two of you always leave around this time." His soft, father-like smile disappears, "Are you hiding something from me." Touka doesn't respond and leaves upstairs to get change. When she returns she looks over to Yamamoto and says, "We're busy with a project Hinami has, nothing too serious. You don't want her to have bad grades, do you?"

Yamamoto smiles, "Of course not, carry on then."

Hinami and Touka leaves outside. Hinami looks over to Touka, "I don't have my school bag with me…" she tells her. She overheard Yamamoto and Touka's conversation. Touka looked at her, thinking she was joking, "What are you talking about. We're going to meet Kaneki, remember? We've done this before." She told him. Hinami laughs uncomfortably, messing with her thumbs, "Right…"
