[Eren's leaning against what would appear to be the kitchen counter. Fingers pinching the bridge of his nose, it takes him a moment to collect enough composure to look up at the feed. There's something cooking on the stove in the background, and by the way the pan pops and sizzles, one would almost suspect bacon. When he finally speaks, his words sound a little forced.]

Wow. It's been hectic around here lately, hasn't it? Is everyone alright? Everyone back where they should be? I got a little banged up before, but I--

...You know what? No. No. I can't just not say this: 

'The fuck was that?! She just sends the sword off on her stupid pig?! She's lucky I didn't find that piece of junk. I would have shoved it so far up her-- [Right on time, the fire alarm goes off. Who even knew the kitchen had one? Eren, for one, doesn't even know what a battery powered fire alarm is.]

Uhg. I hate this place.

...Yeah. I get that.

[Kaneki doesn't know how Eren would manage that, but he has a feeling that he wouldn't give up trying until he had.]

That's how it should be.

[That level of acceptance and understanding from Kaneki catches Eren off guard.]

When you say it like that, it makes it all the more confusing. I don't know what to make of you.

[Eren hates how fully he believes Kaneki when Kaneki says he doesn't like having to eat this way to survive. He can't really think of Kaneki as a monster, if all of that is true.]

But we're all stuck here together, so... If you ever need someone to help you get through things...

[itwouldbeatragedy]

[Kaneki's a little taken aback, but then he smiles, just a little.]

Thank you, Eren. This much is already a lot.

[At home he would never have even imagined that anyone might be able, let alone willing to accept him, even conditionally.]
