During the whole process of communication between Kaneki's mother and aunt, Kaneki carried his toy knife and stood not far away, all looking in his eyes.
Leon took the opportunity to confuse: "Didn't you hear it."
Kaneki: What did I hear?"
Leon: "Your aunt's family doesn't sound like they are in a pinch. It's just that the freezer is broken, so she need to replace it with a new one. If she don't have money, can't she save some money? Does she really have to use the freezer, if she are in poor condition or don't have money? It seems that your aunt's freezer is more important than you— ~ "
Kaneki: "…"
Leon: "In order to make money for your aunt, your mother can only sacrifice your time which she used to spend with you. This … is really what you want? don't you plan to persuade your mother anymore?"
Kaneki: "Instead of hurting others, it is better to be hurt yourself. This is how a gentle and kind person be happy. Mother is a gentle and kind person, and I want to be a kind and gentle person like my mom."
"Oh, really? It turns out that Kaneki wanted to be a gentle child … hmm ... there's no problem in that, as long as you don't regret it, later!" Kaneki couldn't find the meaning in Leon's words.
Only looked at his haggard and tired mother, as she hurriedly walked back to the room from the door to get the money, then hurriedly walked to the door, and handed the money to the aunt.
Finally, she smiled tiredly at Kaneki and returned to the house work she is doing in house as a side job.
★-------------------------------★
1 Year Later:-
During this year, Kaneki's Aunt came to Kaneki house very regularly like every month to get money.
Kaneki sees his aunt once a month, only once when she want the money.
Kaneki's mother, on the other hand, continued to get up at 6 A.M. in the morning. After preparing breakfast for Kaneki, she went out to work. At 1:00 P.M., she will bring Kaneki's lunch, and do a side job at home like always.
At 8-9 P.M. in the evening, after finishing dinner for Kaneki, she will go out to work as a cleaner.
She won't come back until 1-2 A.M. at midnight,and only sleep less than 4 hours a day.
It can be said that while Kaneki was sleeping, she went out to work. When Kaneki woke up, she came back from her work to do her side job at home, and hope to spend some time and looked after Kaneki. In the evening, taking advantage of Kaneki's sleep, she went out to work again.
She thought that as long as she was awake at this period of time when Kaneki's sleeping and when he woke up do her side job work at home, she can spend some time with Ken.
But is this really the case?
No, no.
Deep down in Kaneki's heart, he was actually very eager for his mother to take time out to spend more time with him or actually rest for some time from his work.
The most anticipated time or thing every day in Kaneki's life is the moment when his mother returns home.
Even in order to see his mother more often, he sometimes intentionally adjusts time at his alarm clock at 6 A.M. to wake up early, 9-10 P.M. , and 1-2 A.M. midnight, either waking up or sleeping late.
But because of that one sentence that his mother everytime told him.
'Instead of hurting others, it is better to be hurt yourself' ; 'Gentle and kind people always be happy like this' He wants to be a gentle and kind person like his mother.
He never mentioned the matter of 'don't give aunt money' again.
At the same time, he is also afraid of mother's hard work and not be able to rest, so he dare not disturb his mother. Only occasionally when it is really impossible to bear, will he find excuses for mother to teach him some japnese characters and to spend time with him or to be able to convince his mother to rest for a bit.
So unconsciously, he also developed the habit of reading books, because those books are left by his father, when reading those books, he would inexplicably feel that father was with him.
This kind of day continue, until a year later, he went to primary school, his life has finally changed, at school he met a friend as in original series, Hideyoshi Nagachika also known as Hide.
With the company of Hide, he able added a lot of colors to his entire life, he no longer felt as lonely as in the past.
In this way, for the next 2 years, Kaneki's life has been revolving around mother, Leon, books, and Hideyoshi Nagachika, such beautiful days continue in his life.
Until one unfortunate day after 2 years.
He came home from school and saw his mother falling asleep on the table, he knew that his mother was tired no very tired, so he didn't want to wake up his mother. Afraid of that his mother's will caught a cold, he put a blanket over her shoulder.
Even in the evening, when his mother forgot to cook dinner for both, he was not willing to wake up his mother, but he just went out and buy some food.
But by the time he come back his mother was supposed to be out to work, but his mother was still motionless.
Then he walked up to his mother and shook his shoulders and began to called him: "mother, mother?"
Yes! ! !
His mother was dead, finally no finally she couldn't be able to bear it and died from overwork.
In the original series, Kaneki's mother died when Kaneki was 10 years old. but with the arrival and because of Leon existence, it caused his mother to die one year earlier. Because the savings in their home run out in advance.
His mother had to start her labor work life in advance.
After a few hours later:--
Di-du!
Di-du!
Di-du!
The ambulance came to Kaneki's house and confirmed his mother's death, 9-year-old Kaneki only knows how to call an ambulance.
He don't understand anything else.
He just looked-at a group of strangers in a silly way, went in and out at his home, covered his mother with a white cloth, and carried away his mother.
Leon: "Did you see that?"
Kaneki: "…"
Leon: "Have you heard the diagnosis of the medical staff?"
Kaneki: "…"
Leon: "Your mother died from overwork. Just because your aunt has been taking money from your mother for the past few years non stop every month, your mother has to work three times and because of that your mother die from overwork. If you had persuade your mother more, let her not give your aunt money, let her rest more, maybe she will not had to die. 'Rather than hurting others, it is better to be hurt yourself. this is how a gentle and kind person be happy', as long as other's happy, hmm ... your mother did it. But... Oh, well! my gentle and kind Kaneki, are you happy now?"
Kaneki Ken: "…"
At this moment, an ambulance worker approached Kaneki: "kid, don't be too sad. Are there other people in your family? Should I call them for you and let them come over to see you?"
Kaneki subconsciously replied: "Auntie."
After a while.
The Kaneki's aunt did arrive.
She saw Kaneki's an instant, she quickly step forward and hug Kaneki into her arms: "Poor child, don't worry, you still have an aunt."
After hearing this sentence, Kaneki finally couldn't help but cry.
After this, a series of follow-up matters for the funeral were also handled by his aunt.
On the day of the funeral, the relevant section came and said, that it was asking about custody.
The aunt said softly to Kaneki: "I used to cause trouble to your family, at least let aunt do her part, now."
Then she said to the government official officer: "Ken will be come with my family. My family is the only relative of him, so if we brought him to our family, he will be very happy."
Kaneki said without hesitation and agreed.
And just when my aunt talked to the government, and signed relevant materials and papers, Leon's voice sounded in Kaneki Ken's mind again.
