Levin POV

Coffee was probably the only way I had a connection with normal ghouls, it was something that humans and everything else could enjoy.

But why coffee? I studied the cup in my hand as Touka glared at me. After leaving my room I had asked for a cup. The cafe was quiet tonight, and closed for now.

"Are you going to drink or what?" Touka asked, probably annoyed that I asked her to make me a cup. I smile nervously and sip the cup, still the taste was great.

She sighed and walked to the back, leaving me to my own devices. Everyone seemed to treat me the same as before, seeing as they saw through my act. Still, I was one of the most wanted people in Tokyo.

V is going to try and kill me now, and maybe some of the members of Nest will come after me also for abandoning them.

"So, are you going go see her or not?" Asked someone who had come out from the back. It was Hinami, who I hadn't talked to in a long time. She wanted to cut hair, right?

But I knew she was talking about Kurona. I smiled nervously. "Y-Yeah... but I'm a bit worried of what she'll say to me."

"Don't you think it's about time to stop being hesitant, the readers have waited a long time." She said, waving her hand then sitting next to me.

Ignoring the break of the fourth wall, I took another swig of my coffee and looked over at Hinami. "Hey, my hair is kind of getting too long. Can I get a cut?" I asked.

My hair was long enough to reach my shoulders, the growth during my time away was pretty big. Plus I still had some black dye in my hair I needed to get out.

Hinami stared for a few moments, then smiled and nodded. " let me go get my tools, go to the back room."

After settling myself in the back room, Hinami came back with a variety of scissors and shavers. The scissors made me a bit nervous, remember my past. But I bit my lip and put through it.

"What do you need?" She asked, just before starting.

"Just a trim. Like how it used to be, please." I said, closing my eyes and sitting up straight. Moments later I felt scissors and a comb rush through my hair. Sometimes the scissors snipped near my ear, the sound sent me into some shivers.

But I pull through.

"Thought of what your going to do now? Your practically a terrorist now." She asked.

I let out a chuckle. "Yeah, that's understandable. I suppose I'll join Goat... after I wrap up some business." I said.

She froze for a moment, the continued. "Are you going to leave again?" She asked.

"Not by myself. I'll tell you all later about my final plan." I said.

Hinami seemed happy with this and continued to work. "But it isn't going to be your final plan, right?" She asked.

I thought for a moment. Then I shrugged. "Yup. Not my final plan ever. Just the last one I really have to do." I exclaimed.

We are both silent for the rest of the cut. My eyes were closed so I couldn't see her, but I could hear her light footsteps around me, cutting different angles and strips of hair.

She did one final strip of hair on my bangs and handed me a mirror. "You can open your eyes now, how'd I do?" She asked.

I opened my eyes, although a part of me wanted to keep them shut, I had grown quite comfortable sitting here. My reflection was normal, to say the least. My semi-long hair was back, the same cut I used to have. But it was so defined I ended up smiling.
