Battling Inner Demons
The darkness within me grows, consuming every inch of my being. I am no longer the same person I once was. The days of fearing my ghoul side are long gone, replaced by a ruthless and brutal version of myself. Yamori's torture changed me, molded me into this monster that stands before you today.
Embracing the Ghoul Within
I have accepted who I truly am - a half-ghoul with insatiable hunger for flesh and an unquenchable thirst for power. No longer do I deny my nature; instead, I embrace it wholeheartedly.
A Cruel Protector
My friends, they mean everything to me. Their safety is paramount in this twisted world where ghouls hunt humans as prey. In order to protect them from harm's way, I must become their shield.
But protection comes at a price – one that requires cruelty and ruthlessness towards those who dare threaten us.
Unleashing My True Strength
To defend what is dear to me, there can be no room for hesitation or mercy when facing enemies on the battlefield. In battles against formidable foes like Yamori or Ayato Kirishima (a fellow ghoul), violence becomes an essential tool in securing victory.
Cannibalizing Darkness
When faced with Yamori’s sadistic tormentor mentality during our captivity together, my survival instincts kicked in stronger than ever before. Driven by desperation and fueled by rage, I resorted to cannibalism - devouring his Kagune to gain strength beyond anything previously imaginable. This act not only granted me immense power but also solidified my commitment to embracing my inner demon without remorse or regret.
Merciless Breakage
During another confrontation with Ayato Kirishima, he sought out revenge against our group for past grievances. Unfazed by his threats, an overwhelming desire for dominance consumed me. Without hesitation, I unleashed a brutal assault upon him, breaking one hundred and three of his bones in an instant.
The Price of Power
While my newfound power brings with it a sense of invincibility, it also fuels an insatiable hunger for more. The yearning to be stronger grows within me like a relentless fire, consuming every ounce of my being.
A Superficial Arrogance
With strength comes arrogance - or at least the facade of it. I project an air of superiority to mask the insecurities that lie beneath - a shield against anyone who might see through the cracks in my armor.
Losing My Humanity
In this pursuit for ultimate power, I have lost sight of what it means to be human. Emotions become secondary; compassion and empathy fade into obscurity as darkness engulfs my soul.
A Glimpse Behind Closed Doors
But there are still moments when glimpses of who I once was break through the cold exterior. When surrounded by those whom I care about deeply, the gentle nature that once defined Ken Kaneki resurfaces momentarily.
In conclusion,
My journey is far from over.
As Ken Kaneki, caught between two worlds – ghoul and human – I continue battling these inner demons consuming me from within.
For now, darkness prevails.
