[You know even though there's no real reason for Kaneki to be worried at all- at least that he can think of off-hand- that sort of beginning to any conversation is enough to make your stomach do a little flip.]
[It takes Kaneki a moment, but when he remembers what month it actually is, his conversation with Tsukiyama comes rushing back in full force.]
Well...he told me that there's a time where people will suddenly start showing up all over, those that aren't normally here. Not...quite like how people show up in New Bark. He also mentioned that some people get items from back home, things that end up going away after a few days...
["Of course, people like us receive certain physical gifts from home as well, and they aren't nearly as pleasant. Don't worry about it too much; you'll be fine without eating for that period of time."]
He...said some of the gifts were physical, and said that I would be fine not eating while it was going on....Is that what you were going to talk to me about?
[He hadn't even realized it was coming up so soon, and now that he's thinking about it...well, it isn't hard to put the pieces together.]
[It's not something that really needs to be said, honestly. And if there's any doubt, he's certain that he'll know for sure what's going on when the time comes.]
Yeah...I'm not really looking forward to it. But it should be okay, if it really is just for a few days. I might just try to stay inside.

I'm here. What is it, Banjou-san?

How much did Tsukiyama-san tell you about the end of the month?

Yeah, that's what I wanted to discuss with you.
It's only a few days, so I don't think it'll be permanently unpleasant, but... For you, it might be a miserable couple of days.
[He hasn't come right out and said "you'll be a ghoul again," but that's because he doesn't want to have to be so blunt.]

If you need any help at all...
Just ask me. I'll be there for you, Kaneki.

[There's a pause before he sends another text.]
I...know I can't say I really know you all that well yet. ...or at least...I don't remember that I do. But I still appreciate you helping me.
