[At some point during reading Tsukiyama's response Kaneki has to stop, because when he starts talking about how ghouls don't generally have the same opportunities as humans do he is immediately reminded of Hinami. He's reminded of how...unfair it is for her to miss out on being able to go to school when she's already so starved for knowledge. How she's on the run at this very moment, trying to avoid the hands of the CCG who would like nothing more than to see her- a child- gone.

I think I understand what you are saying. And...I agree, too. I really wish things didn't have to be that way.
[But things never would improve. There would always be humans working for the CCG and those who recoiled at the mere mention of a ghoul. Likewise, there would always be ghouls who hunted for pleasure just as much as they did to survive, such as Rize. Not even all of the pacifists out there and humans willing to see ghouls as more than just monsters could do anything to change that.
It was a little overwhelming, how...suddenly sad that thought made Kaneki feel. It wasn't something he had to worry about anymore, here, but that didn't make it any less distasteful.]
I am glad I know what I do now, about other ghouls. I mean, if you really think about it...as far as having hopes, goals, and dreams, we really aren't all that different. Are we?
