Still?

[The question of Aogiri is ignored for now in favor of a more current subject. This information seems to bother Takizawa greatly.] Are you saying it still smells foul to you?

[It doesn't make sense that this boy would remain a ghoul when everyone was supposed to be changed. Is it because his stay is more temporary? No, that doesn't make sense either. There isn't anyone else he knows of that hasn't been altered even when entering the city through the wrong mirror.]

You know, I thought... [He places the end of one index finger between his teeth absent-mindedly.] when I got here, and the food smelled normal that there had to be something wrong with it. That it all had to be made from human material of some kind or else it wouldn't smell that way. I hadn't even eaten until now. I don't like not knowing where my food comes from...

[He bites down on his finger until it bleeds, then licks at the blood with a frown.] But what I had there... it was just bread. It was a cinnamon bun and nothing else. Is it because I'm a witch?
