Kaneki realizes that Nishiki uses his docile manner in order to deceive humans, and then decides to accompany Hide just for the sake of his safety. Nishiki abruptly concludes that he left the disk at home and suggests they go there for it.
The three try looking for the material, but to no avail. Even though he was told that there isnt a place for him, Kaneki is surprised at how well Nishiki fits in with humans. Hide begins introducing Kaneki to Nishiki, but unbeknownst to him, Nishiki secretly shows his hostility. He grows frightened by the fact that Nishiki might kill him. Kaneki notices the strong aroma of coffee in the room, and comes to the realization that he encountered Nishiki that night on the feeding ground. Hide apologizes but Nishiki insists that he respect his elders. The two are requested to go see Nishiki for a DVD of the previous year's school festival, and unknowingly barge into the room where Nishiki and his girlfriend, Kimi were making out. Kaneki blames himself, thinking that if someday he truly becomes a ghoul, then he and Hide wont be able to walk alongside each other anymore. Kaneki is struck with remorse, for Hide is highly perceptive and notices things out of the ordinary.
Hide points out that Kaneki hasnt been eating much, as he looks pale. Kaneki is offered a position in the committee to which Hide objects that his friend is not used to being around crowds. Hide approaches him, giving Kaneki details of the upcoming School Festival, also introducing him to some seniors who were part of the planning committee. He admits that the piece of human meat Touka gave him made him feel a lot better, though he is still hungry. Kaneki goes back to school with an eye patch, for he could not control his eye.
Kaneki pondering if he can continue his friendship with Hide Kaneki decides that there still is one place where he belongs his place with Hide at school. He then receives a message from Hide, offering him the Asian History notes once again. Kaneki allows her words to sink in, anxious and scared at the fact that he was going to be alone and on his own. Touka also told him that starvation for a ghoul was literally hell, and that he would end up acting upon instinct if he really goes hungry. The girl implied that Kaneki bring himself to the edge of starvation if he really wants to stick to the human side. Touka mortifies Kaneki since he does not belong to the group of humans nor ghouls, theres nowhere he truly belongs. Touka slams Kanekis head against a nearby wall, and discerns that he is surely a ghoul, as Kanekis body isnt injured via her attack. Taking Touka by offense, he declares that hes not like those ghoul monsters. He reluctantly swallows it, beginning to express guilt, for he was so desperate to find another way to feed himself as nothing more than a human. Touka offers help, by attempting to shove the meat into Kanekis mouth. Kaneki tries to stick to his human side, persisting that he will not eat the human meat under any circumstance. She mentions that the ghoul world is the worst. Kaneki apprehensively questions about what ghouls are, to which Touka responds that ghouls kill people who have no connection to their fellow ghouls, and that they basically have no concepts, morals or order in society. Touka and Nisihiki finally charge, engaging in a brawl, with Touka winning. The two began to debate, arguing over whose strength really deserved the ownership of the small alley. Nishiki replies that Rize is in fact dead, and that the space was originally his until Rize came along. Touka intervenes, insisting that this is not Nishikis property, but rather, Rizes feeding ground. Nishiki corners him and suddenly chokes Kaneki, who apologizes, saying that he didnt know the territory was someone elses property. Kaneki notices that Nishiki has grown somewhat hostile towards him, as he cracks a finger. Nishiki starts to assess Kaneki, concluding that he is indeed a ghoul after he had purchased so much coffee from the store. He then notices a food hamper left for him by Hide. Kaneki discovers that not only could he drink the brewed coffee, but also eat the coffee grains. Kaneki also remembers resisting the package of human meat by drinking coffee to suppress his appetite. He then reminisces over the previous night, when Yoshimura explained Kanekis origin as a ghoul, with Rize being responsible for it. Kaneki recalls that he met Nishiki at the convenience store earlier that day.
