Hinami was a young girl, and shd had only a mother and father. No siblings, few friends. The small family tried their best to live an honest life, their only sin?

Being born ghouls.

With the CCG, hungrily tracking their every move, the family—especially Hinami and her mother—became quickly accustomed to staying Anteiku for long periods of time.

Though each time the two went, Hinami never ventured far from the comfort of their room, or the presence of her mother. She interacted with Touka, if anyone, and even then her interactions were shy. Though Hinami was a sweet girl (or ghoul). Anyone could see that.

She didn’t deserve the fate forced upon her.

Word that Hinami’s mother had been killed by two ghoul investigators had gotten back to Anteiku a little under a week ago. With that, the realization that those same two investigators had killed Hinami’s father.

Yoshimura had purposely ordered all of the Anteiku staff (members of the 20th Ward) to keep this information from Hinami though, knowing how it would affect her. So while everyone else knew the truth, the young girl was left wondering what had happened to her parents. Knowing the truth deep down.

A few days ago, Hinami had learned the truth behind her parent’s disappearances, and came face to face with the man responsible for them.

The trauma from it all, caused her to shut down. Locking herself in her room on the upper levels of Anteiku. Shutting herself off from everyone. Even Touka.

It has a been a few days since the incident, but Hinami still hasn’t came out of the room. Not even once. Sometimes you could hear faint sobs coming from it, but no matter who tried to knock, she never answered.

Feeling bad for the poor girl, remembering how hard it was to grasp the painful realities of being a ghoul when you were her age, you decided to try to reach her.

So you did. Knocking on her door softly.
