As you accidentally bump into Kaneki, it's as if the entire world suddenly slows down, the two of you falling in slow motion into an embrace, your head on his chest, your body leaning against his. For a few seconds, everything stops. Everything freezes. You can hear the beating of each other's hearts, your lungs pumping air in and out, the faint breeze rustling your hair. You feel like you're floating...and then you're pushed apart and everything returns to normal.
