Well...

[Now she actually opens up the album, flipping through it until she finds what she's looking for. She turns it so Kaneki can see that there's only a single photo on this page.]

These are my friends from back home, I haven't seen them in over two years now. They're all...just like me, we went to the same academy and trained to fight the same bad guys. It's normal in our world. [Though even if she says that, only the blue-haired boy and herself show any evidence of scars, the rest of the people look relatively untouched.] So we'd talk about it like it's just a regular part of our day, right? But...whenever I talked about it here, people would say that it's wrong or horrible that I have these kinds of experiences, that it's immoral to train children to fight.

[She shuts the album and shrugs.]

I don't usually let what other people say bother me, I'd have given up a long time ago if I did, but...I dunno, being away from home for so long and being treated like I'm...

[Abnormal, damaged, dangerous...]

Not to say I haven't made friends, I just can't speak to very many of them honestly about my life before, or about much of anything that I'm interested in. I'm just different by nature from other people my age.
