[ he can indeed see that. It makes it easy that he saw, because hearing about it would be worse - so Kaneki thinks. To be seen being a monster means he doesn't have to explain how monstrous he is; to be seen also makes it a lot more real too.

Kaneki has no issues in being so. Hiding it was simply out of comfort to others who would have to share a place with Kaneki and have to see him during their travels, but in the end the young man is more than prepared to be accepted as something horrible. He knows he is so, and he knows it will not change.

But there is no screaming from Five, which means he is either aware of where they are (they can't be too obvious, this is still a spy mission of sorts) or that he is logical enough to think things through. Whatever it is, Kaneki knows the kid is not a normal kid, and he is somewhat glad for it.

But to answer his question:] One of the group. But só does the Merchant and all those that work for him. [ Five is certainly more than welcome to contact the Merchant about it]

As for how much I eat, I eat a lot. [ in Kaneki's mind, a small human finger would already be too much. But he does eat much, more than most ghouls would] I rely on dead bodies. And undead. [ in a world with so much death, it's easy to find what he needs]
