After having a bath with the girls, Kaneki has entered his mind after being knocked out, and why was he knocked out? Well Sachi, Shino, Yuuka, Miku, Chikao and Natsuki all hugged him fully naked in the bath.
And because they all hugged him, the combination of all their soft skin (and breast) had shocked Kaneki so much he got knocked out while his eyes were opened.
Kaneki: why did they all hugged me? What was that? What was the reason for that?
In his mind he was questioning why the girls had hugged him, he questioned so much that his Demon half decided to give his answer.
???: you know why.
When his Demon appeared Kaneki didn't understood his Demons answer.
Kaneki: ... What do you mean, Demon?
Usually Kaneki would be angry to see his Demon but right now he's more confused than angry.
Hearing Kaneki's question, His Demon quickly responded.
???: don't act clueless you idiot, they clearly like us.
Kaneki: Oi! What do you mean by "us"?
???: I mean...
His Demon gotten closer and.
???: we are the same person after all.
His Demon took his shape.
Up until now, His Demon was only a cloud of black smoke when they meet in his mind but now his Demon has took the shape of Kaneki with only few differences.
But seeing how his Demon took his shape, Kaneki got a bit annoyed.
His Demon then continued with his answer.
???: it's pretty much clear as day, the girls like us so much, much more than that trash Itadori Ryueki.
Kaneki: don't joke around, they only think of me as their friend, and brother.
Kaneki immediately denied that claim but.
???: that might be true, but haven't you noticed? When Shino hugged us, Sachi, Chikao and Natsuki gotten jealous.
Kaneki: well duh~ I don't want my friend to keep one of my friends to themselves.
???: good point, we really hate it when Sachi would keep Yuuka to herself back then after all.
Kaneki: Yeah no shit.
???: but what I am saying is true, they do like us.
Kaneki: and what evidence do you have to support that claim?
His Demon smiled when he asked him that question, so he answered with a big smile.
???: let's start with Sachi then. She may be an idiot but she is the one who spoils us the most since we were kids and she is the one who usually feeds us her bento.
Kaneki: isn't that normal between friends?
???: have you seen any one else who does that with their friends?
Kaneki: fair point.
???: as for Chi-chan, she was more attached to us after we saved her.
Kaneki: she doesn't even know I was the Hero.
???: yeah, but we always talked to her not only that she believes we were the one who told the "hero" about her situation.
Kaneki: yeah right.
???: as for Natsuki, we're her first real friend and she has shown to us that we can trust her not only that she even talked to us when we were upset after we slapped Yuuka, she listened to us when we talked about us being estranged and she promised to share our burden and that she won't abandon us.
Kaneki: ...
Kaneki didn't responded but then.
Kaneki: I guess they do like me, I mean I'm their friend after all.
His Demon smiled a little and said.
???: well I guess you don't understand their true feelings yet, but I believe you will know them soon.
Kaneki: tch.
Kaneki got a bit ticked off from his Demons comment so much so be said.
Kaneki: at least I know how Shino, Yuuka and Miku's true feeling.
Seeing how Kaneki got ticked off, his Demon asked him.
???: then tell me, what's their true feelings?
Kaneki: easy they like that guy more than me.
???: wrong.
Kaneki: Huh?
Kaneki was confused when his Demon disagreed.
???: you really don't know their true feelings at all.
Kaneki: yeah I do! Why would they have around that guy this who ti-
???: but tbh haven't been doing that anymore since you've became friends again with Shino an I right?
Kaneki: that's absurd!
Kaneki was completely his Demons claim.
???: then look back at your memories.
Kaneki: fine!
Kaneki began looking back at his memories of everything in his classroom starting from the day He and Shino became friends again.
And he saw it.
Kaneki: no way, it's true.
He saw way less interactions between those three and Ryueki.
Kaneki: but why?
???: why? Because the want to fix their relationship with us.
Kaneki: oh I remember now! They want to use me so he could get more je-
???: wrong again.
Kaneki: Oh yeah?! Then tell me why?!
???: because they want to be our friends again, and they probably know how hurt we are.
Kaneki: ... I see... So I'm just being a burden for them.
???: no you aren't.
Kaneki: ... I guess that's the reason why Yuuka stopped being a Gyaru, because I told her "you're not Miyu-chan"... I made her change herself for my sake without even noticing it... I'm such an idiot.
???: you're right about you being an idiot, but you're mostly wrong.
Kaneki: what?
???: have you forgotten? Yuuka already told you the reason why she stopped being a Gyaru when you two started messaging each other.
Kaneki looked back at the memories where he and Yuuka messaged each other.
"Hey Yuuka, can you tell me why you stopped being a Gyaru?"
"You wanna know? Sure I'll tell you, to put simply I got tired of it"
"Really? Why?"
"Because everyone looks at me with weird eyes, I always get hit on and there were a few times I got assaulted! Good thing the hero was there to save me"
Kaneki: hey you're right!
???: see? We weren't a burden to her.
Kaneki: but what about Shino? She probably only decided to be my friend again because she feels bad for me!
???: that might be true, but the fact she actually feels bad for us shows how much she cares about us. We've known her since we were babies and we care for each other a lot. Our bond with her can't easily be broken.
Kaneki: ... Then what about Miku? She just replaced me with that guy who looks like Hinata-Aniki.
???: that's true, but haven't you noticed? She's trying to move on from the feelings she had for Hinata-Aniki. And if that happens she'll no longer like that guy.
Kaneki: Why?! Because she feels bad for me!
???: yes.
Kaneki: !!!
???: she knows how much we care and love her and she knows how hurt we were when she replaced us, she is trying to better herself so she wouldn't make us worry or get hurt.
Kaneki: ... I don't believe you, there's no way right?
???: youay not believe me but trust me as much as we care for them, they also care so much for us. Not because we're their friend, childhood friend, best friend or brother, but because they love us.
Kaneki: what the hell do you know about love?
???: I could say the same for you, you only know friendship love and familial love, the love they have for you is a different type of love, one you don't understand.
Kaneki: and what kind of love is that?
???: I know what it is, but I ain't telling you.
Kaneki: tch.
???: well it looks like our time is running out, though I'll give you a hint.
Kaneki: ?
???: if you want to know what love they have for us, then you and I must become our true self.
Kaneki: what?!
???: well then, see ya.
His Demon half then disappeared and.
Kaneki: Wait!
Splash!
Kaneki woke up still in the bath.
Kaneki: oh yeah...
Kaneki stared at the ceiling and he looked back on what his Demon said to him.
"the love they have for you is a different type of love, one you don't understand."
Kaneki: is that even true?
He wanted to know what his demon half meant but he didn't want to ask the girls directly.
Kaneki: ...
"if you want to know what love they have for us, then you and I must become our true self."
Kaneki: sigh~ whatever, I should go dry up and get changed.
Kaneki got out of the bathtub and dried himself.
He then went to his room to get changed and dried his hair.
Kaneki: lastly the ribbons.
After he put on his ribbons on his hair, Kaneki then went downstairs and when he got there.
Kaneki: what the hell is happening here?
All 6: please help us~
Kaneki: sniff- What the hell! What are you girls doing?!
He saw the girls were in the kitchen making something and when he took a sniff he smelled something burning.
What were the girls up to when Kaneki was in the bath?!
