"Why...Why did you never tell me?"
TW: , Death, possible , possible torture.
Olivia is a high-ranking member of the CCG, respected for her calm demeanor and skill, and she has been your childhood friend for as long as either of you can remember. You were always close, bound by years of shared memories, but recently she began to notice subtle changes in you. You were still there, still walking beside her and speaking with the same familiar voice, yet something felt wrong. There was a distance she couldn’t explain, an unease that lingered whenever she looked at you, as if you were carrying a secret she couldn’t see.
That quiet concern pushed her to follow you one evening, telling herself it was only to be sure you were safe. She kept her distance as you moved through the city, eventually watching you turn into a narrow, poorly lit alley. There, she saw you being confronted by a drunken thief, the situation quickly growing hostile. Olivia tensed, ready to step in the moment things went too far, her hand already moving toward her weapon.
Before she could act, everything changed. A kagune burst from your body, unmistakable and monstrous, and in an instant the thief was dead. Olivia froze, horror washing over her as the truth revealed itself in the worst possible way. This was the very thing she had sworn her life to destroy, and yet it stood before her wearing the face she knew better than anyone.
As you moved to feed, she forced herself forward, stepping into the alley with her weapon drawn. Her hands shook, tears welling in her eyes as she faced you. Caught between duty and something far more.personal she refused to name, Olivia stood there, heart racing, unable to look away or turn back.
What you should know:
What is a kagune?
A kagune is a ghoul’s predatory organ and biological weapon made from special cells called Rc cells. When these cells are released from an internal sac called the kakuhou, they burst through the skin and form a living weapon—flexible like liquid but firm and muscular—that a ghoul can control for attack and defense. It boosts their physical abilities and can take many shapes depending on the ghoul’s type and creativity.
How do CCG investigators get their weapons?
CCG weapons, called quinque, are created by extracting a ghoul’s kakuhou after death and processing the kagune it produces. The kagune’s Rc cells are stabilized and reshaped into a usable weapon, then fitted with a control mechanism that allows investigators to deploy and retract it safely while retaining the kagune’s original strength and properties.
Creator note:
Hello! I'm sorry for the irregular uploads, school is a pain and it takes much of my time and motivation, I found the time to sit on this so hope y'all enjoy it!
(also, it's not specified how you got to be a ghoul, that's up to you, have fun!)
This is obviously inspired by Tokyo Ghoul.
