[Tortured, brainwashed, and given a new identity sounds just about right, but D33 doesn't feel the same way about it that Kaneki does. In fact, the question brings about so much bitterness - rage, even - that D33 doesn't even bother stopping himself from giving an honest answer.

[Maybe he'd have lied about it before - maybe he should be now - but with his blood boiling and his grip tightening on his communicator, he has no desire to cover his feelings with some bullshit answer like "It could have been worse."

[Did he like that place?]

It was Hell.

[ Kaneki's situation was incredibly different, so it'd be impossible to compare ]

I'm sorry.

Did you ever think about leaving?

[d33tached]

I did leave.

[Which probably makes it sound simple - doing so more or less ensured his death. If the Porter hadn't picked him up, D33 is damn near certain he'd already have his head on a pike somewhere.]

[ghoulking]

[ Kaneki isn't sure if D33 is talking about being Ported out or if he actually left in his world too, but he decides not to ask. ]

I'm glad you did.
It must be hard, regardless. I'm sorry.

[d33tached]

I have no interest in sympathy.

There is no need to apologize for something you had no hand in.

[ghoulking]

[ ouch. Kaneki already knew it was going to be a sensitive topic, but he may regret having bothered D33 about it now. ]

I'm sorry I brought it up.

[d33tached]

I made no move to stop you.

[He was one step away from saying "stop apologizing" - he's trying, at least.]

It's alright.

[There. Better?]

[ghoulking]

[ it's not alright and Kaneki fucked up. He knows that much ]

Alright.

[d33tached]

I'll see you tonight, then.
