Touka: Tunnels.
Touka: It's something that some Tokyo Ghouls built in the past.
Touka: To hide from the humans.
Touka: Don't wander off from this room, okay?
Kaneki: ...!
Touka: If you go alone, you'll not be able to find your way back.
Kaneki: O... Okay...
Kaneki: .... Hey, Touka-chan.
Kaneki: What are we going to do here...?

Touka: Teach you how to use the Kagune.
Kaneki: ...!
Touka: ... I say "teach", but if I just explain it with words, you wouldn't get it, so...
Touka: I'll do it the same way I was taught...
Touka: Prepare yourself, or you may die.
Kaneki: ... Huh.

Touka: ... See, you can do it.
Kaneki: !
Touka: Well... The Kagune you used before was stronger, but still.
Touka: We're going back topside.
Kaneki: ........
Touka: ..... The shape's a bit different, but...
Touka: You are a 'Rinkaku'-type "Ghoul", just like Rize.
Touka: 'Rinkaku'-type "Ghouls" are tough and heal fast.
Touka: They're more tenacious than most others...
Touka: And if you combine that with Rize's monstrous strenght
Touka: You can not only fight offensively but also take a lot of punishment while fightning...

Touka: Anyway, you've got to burn the feeling of bringing out the Kagune into your body
Touka: Until you can bring it out freely.
Touka: While you can't bring out the Kagune freely, we should drill you in close combat...
Touka: And do some work on your body...
Touka: So from now on, you should do 100 sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups and squats every day!
Text next to Kaneki: 100!?
Kaneki: Huh...
Touka: Ah?
Kaneki: Waaah
Touka:... What, you going to fight with this body?
Touka: Build some more muscle.
Kaneki: I.. I'll do it... I'll really do it...
Touka: Then it's fine.

Uta: Sorry.
???: St... Wai... You're wrong, it's not like that.
???: Anyway, why have you come here...
Uta:... The mask's done so you should try it on.
Uta: ... In truth, I could just leave it and go, but...
Uta: I put a lot of effort into it so I'd like to see Kaneki-kun in it.
Kaneki: .....!

Uta: .... Put your ear through here and then down here.
Uta: ... Well? I thought the eyepatch-look would fit Kaneki-kun.
Kaneki: ..............
Kaneki: .... An eyepatch... Though on the reverse side of how I usually have it...
Uta: Yep.
Uta: ... Since it looked like it's the eye that needs to be hidden.
Text: ... Feeling of the cold leather as
Text: I watched the world through the eye that was normally covered up
Text: It surprisingly felt as if my senses had become sharper.....
