He does, actually. I've been trying to teach him how to read, since I've been teaching him to write a little...but he's really more interested in being read to.

[Which is evident by the fact that Hide is, yet again, rummaging through the childrens' books, even though Kaneki has already bought a bunch for him to keep.

He walks in after, looking back briefly as the door comes to a close behind them with a soft jingle of a bell shaped like a Chimeco affixed to the door handle.]

Phantom likes them too. I'm not sure if he can actually read at all, but he likes to look over my shoulder when I'm reading at night.
