I have been trying to figure out how Kaneki's Centipede mask is formed and stays on his face after I notice the following changes in the mask.

In chapter 101 on page 6, his Mask covers most of his face and seems to circle around his eyes?, other than lower left side on the panel (Kaneki’s right). Both eyes are visible, but Kaneki’s right eye is white with no iris, the other visible eye is his ghoul’s eye.



Chapter 103 page 15 shows that around Kaneki’s right eye (his left, viewer’s right) the mask has line indents going outward towards the side, and that the mask extends past his nose and touches his upper lip. Next page shows that there is a small curve of the mask that extends under Kaneki’s other eye, and that most of his face underneath and around said eye is uncovered.



The following is what I call Version 2 of the mask, I noted that it changed when his Kagune was forced to change from centipede to six rinkaku form. However, there does not seem to be a attachment from his kagune to form the mask, so how is it formed? As I mention latter, I can only say that it was formed through his hair, but we would have seen something if that were the case....

Chapter 105 page 4 Mask gained a ghoul’s eye in the center, and the curve is missing from underneath Kaneki’s white eye, and that there is now a happy grin extending on the mask from where his mouth is.

Chapter 106 page 11 Kakuja mask is the same as in chapter 107, but without the middle eye…

Maybe said eye is a hole or something similar that was hidden in shadows and covered by his hair?

Chapter 107 page 5, middle eye is missing, edge of a hole can be seen where it was... on page 9 the kakuja mask is now only on his forehead, extending downwards over the nose. Still has the middle eye, but does not seem to be connected to anything… through the hair maybe? My main question is, How is it still on his face when there is no connection to the kagune? Does his face secrete the RC cells or something to make it?
