I'll correct the world!

When it started to make him light headed, he closed them. “I don’t want to, you didn’t attack me so, I won’t attack you.” Focusing on Amon once more Tooru stared then began to turn around.

“In the hall…Th-Thank you…Uhm, if we met again, I’ll be sure to have a picture of Miss Mado on hand. I can give it to you.”

“ I wouldn’t want to put your job in trouble for not killing a ghoul-- or well..half...So I won’t blame you if you capture me if they show up. “ Nodding his head slowly. “ No need to. Just hearing her being safe and alive is enough. “ 

Still, Tooru held some sympathy for him, maybe even a little respect for surviving this long.

“ Mutsuki Tooru? I’ll be sure to remember it then. “ If he ever finds Sasaki. He’ll mention this investigator. Making a small shocked sound when he heard him. Hes-- “ You’re letting me go? “ He shook his head. “ Koutarou-- It’s Koutarou Amon. My full name if you didn’t know. “ 

Tooru lifted his head, making sure their eyes met he mumbled; “You’re that guy she’s talked about sometimes, Mi-Mister Amon.” Course Akira never said it directly to him, he just heard mentions of that name wafting through the office every now and again.

“This is…This is what happened to you?”

It made him feel some sympathy. From what little he’d heard, Tooru figured Amon was an awesome CCG Investigator who just disappeared during battle, probably passed on.

“……Sh…” - ‘What do I tell him?’ - “She….Is okay. Very strong actually, she’s a great woman with great power and I think you’d be really proud of her!”

Hearing his name he flinched slightly. Listening more he, he honestly wasn’t sure what to say. Words left him. She was doing well. Talked...they still talked about him? Even after they possibly assumed he had been dead for two years?! Smiling for a moment he looked at him closely. “ That i am. I’m...glad to hear she’s doing well. “

 Honestly, he had a moment where he felt as if he could cry from happiness. Repressing those feelings. Covering the eyes out of instinct he looked away. “ I’m...surprised people still speak of me. “ But he wouldn’t like to hear what they’ll say after this, he knows the investigator before him will speak of this meeting. A moment he looked back at him. 

Thin fingers worked to wrap around the fabric of his coat. The thought was making his stomach turn and his body started heating up.

There was one thing that did manage to catch Tooru’s ears in this distraught state; Sasaki. A slew of questions hung on his tongue, he went to open his mouth but shut it quickly. ‘You need to meet him? …..No, no it’ll destroy him if he sees you, I know it. You know something a-about him and-no. I won’t let you!’

“If it’s about Sasaki then I don’t know where he is, I’m just doing my job, I came here with the others.”

Looking at him quietly, nodding his head. “ I don’t blame you for not wanting to let me see him then, if i go by your silence. We’ll meet at some point. “ Shaking his head once more. “ It’s not about Sasaki.... It’s.... “ He looked away. “ A..Akira Mado. Is..she doing well? “ 

Sure..sure he shouldn't have asked that but he just hoped she wasn’t missing him or Takizawa to badly. " I...I am much happier i met with someone like you instead of her.I’d hate for her to see me like this. I’d kill her, i just know it. “ Going silent once more he eyed him. 

In an instant it felt like the floor gave beneath him, that strong stance crumpled with the weight of information being forced onto him. “Wha-stop!? How?! Do-Th…The  Doctor, what?!”

‘He’s like us?! Is this what we’re going to turn out to be?! Nonononono! No, we-What?! We’re not like this we-I-?!’

“ Doctor Kanou. Honestly, crazy man. “ Pausing in confued when he seen him fall. Stepping forward slightly worried. “ Er....Are..you okay?! Didn’t me- “ Another surprised got him hearing him speak. “ Eyepatch...If i heard correctly...he’s not him anymore. “ 

“You could have just let them be if they didn’t want to listen! Don’t act like you didn’t have a hand in harming them!”

Although disgusted Tooru still made not a move, he just kept his emerald eyes focused on the man before him. Shock would soon settle onto him as the man continued to speak.

“ They came to me first and refused to stop. Surrounded. Had no choice. If i showed mercy they would’ve killed me before i got want i needed ot be said out. Hence why i go to missions such as these. “ Sighed quietly glared for a moment. Shaking the anger off from the stubborn investigator. 

He removed his hood, revealing him being a one-eye. “ Yes i did. Was a Rank 1 for a while, until a few years ago. Use to be human until that crazy doctor got a hold of me. He’s already done this to a few investigators. Ruining a life of a poor student to get this far as well. How’s he doing? Eyepatch? “ 

Honestly he just threw these questions out. Not caring if some didn’t get answered. “ Takizawa? Have you seen him yet? The poor guy. I couldn’t protect him. Look at what he’s become thanks to my failure at protecting. “ A moment he closed his eyes and looked back up. “ I hope you’re listening. “ Waiting in silence once more to hear a response. He didn’t feel the need to kill this boy. He probably couldn’t bring himself to anyway.

He was not foolish enough to lower his weapons nor move from his stance just yet, however Tooru felt curious enough to give this man a chance.

Chuckling slightly at the question As expected. “ They were cruel. Showed no mercy. Wish i’ve seen that side of the CCG before i ‘disappeared’. Wish they knew some ghouls want to befriend humans, work beside them and not worry about this..boundary between the two. but i guess i couldn’t blame them. Also, it was self defense, they came to me attacking first. They wouldn’t take a chance ot listen. Could’ve spared their lives. “ 

Standing up more properly he eyed him more. “ You look rather young to be involved with the CCG, don’t you? “ Cracking a smal smile when he heard teh last bit, someone wanted ot hear? A long paused followed with long silence. Words. No one ever wanted to hear.

When the Ghoul made no move to rush at him like he’d been expecting, Tooru was left confused. ‘….No way he’s scared’ He clutched his weapons then took a careful step forward.

“….Wh…Who are you?! Answer me!” Why Tooru thought talking with the Ghoul was a good idea is anyone’s guess. It just seemed the better option right now.

When seeing him move forward, he stayed he ground. Not moving and inch was he heard the other beginning ti speak. Surprised slightly. Keeping his ground he moved a hand to his hood again. Staying silent for some time, biting at his lip before speaking.  

“ I’d much rather you not learn about me. “ Another long paused followed. Quickly speaking up after. “ Believe me on this. I don’t want to kill or fight you. “ Unless you give him a good reason, then there’ no mercy. But he had a small hope for this investigator. 

‘Where, where?! I need to find someone!’

He needed to radio for help before this got any worse. Down a narrow hall Tooru found a door, without much thought he threw it open and ran in. Before him a room with a floor full of red stained corpses was on full display, ‘-!!’

Tooru wasn’t given much time to panic as he heard foot steps cross the room and a cloaked being appeared. ‘Shit!’ Whomever they might have been they were clearly not friendly.

Eyeing them quietly he stared, watching him reveal the quinques. letting go of his hood. Eye activated before hand from the strong smell of blood from all the investigator, a few ghouls as well.
