[ Kaneki arrives first. It's not the first time, and it definitely isn't a new skill of his; keeping people waiting isn't his style, and even though he knows Hide wouldn't mind waiting for a few minutes, the idea makes Kaneki strangely anxious.
So, he's early, and he gets to rile himself up in his own panicked tenseness for the few minutes it takes Hide to arrive after him. He considers running a thousand times, but he never ends up moving from his spot, and by the time Hide is waving him over, it's already too late.
He's committed to this now. ]
Ah, yeah. It was time for a change... [ Not by his choice, but it isn't a lie. It was time for a change. ]
