@Seinen Lover

That was a nice read, thanks. Also, one major point that's probably been already discussed is that yes, Seidou had to endure two whole years as a guinea pig (God only knows what the poor bastard went through), but when one thinks about it, it's not that surprising that he succumbed to the dark side. Kaneki, for all his shortcomings, managed to keep what was left of his humanity close to him, enough to resist his new destructive urges (they did come out when he went kakuja, but as we all saw in the original, he was a rambling, hallucinating madman in those situations).

Seidou never had such a strong will. Harostar and other anons already mentioned that he never faced Kaneki's hardships (losing both parents, living with abusive relatives, and so on), so him freaking out that badly when he wrote his will was quite the ominous foreshadowing of what was to come. Now he's finally special, he's crazy strong and, in a way, free of everything that used to plague him.

He only had to pay for that with everything that made him human.
