[Being stuck in this place has made him realize more things about himself than he ever would have liked, but it's finally sinking in that all this time, he's been suppressing some sort of really, really weird complex about his inability to feel things like everyone else.

It's kind of funny, isn't it? The news had always called him a "demon" and he'd been perfectly fine referring to himself as "kind of a demon".

Maybe "demon" wasn't the right word.]

...In the eyes of the world, huh...?

[Tsukiyama's right, isn't he? People like Ryuunosuke exist because there have to be villains to keep the story of the world interesting. God wouldn't want to write a boring story. He needs people like Ryuunosuke and Tsukiyama and all the ghouls in Tsukiyama's world to create a vibrant and rich world for His stories to take place in.

How could he ever let himself forget something like that, even for a moment?]

Yeah. You're right. I... man, this place has messed me up.

[But he laughs and the sound is admittedly a bit self-conscious, but Ryuunosuke feels a lot better.]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to just... break like that. I'm okay now! And if I'm honest... I'm glad I'm more like you.

[Tsukiyama is the perfect predator, after all.]

When we go home I want to see everything. I want to learn everything there is to know about ghouls. I don't want to have to deal with humans like this again.

[He can never become a ghoul, but he can cast aside his humanity. Not that that's going to be difficult or anything.]
