Characters[]

Summary[]

Tooru is engaging Yomo with his knives. Yomo internally monologues about how capable and fast he is. He is then ambushed by Aura, who uses a bluff attack that causes traps to come out of the pipes. Yomo uses his kagune to create an electricity ring around him. Tooru thinks to himself that Yomo is a ghoul without flaws with his excellent melee combat, range, and electric kagune. He also notes that while he has more experience than him, he also has more emotion. He thinks about his love for Kaneki and hate for Touka for taking him away from him, and plans to use his emotion to surpass experience. He throws his quinques at Yomo.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts to squad 0. A quinque strikes at Hirako but he redirects it, although it grazes his cheek. Hajime states that he can handle the situation. Ui, holding the quinque that struck Hirako approaches, telling Hajime to not be so proud and that squad 0 is not to be taken lightly. Hajime laughs at the fact that a former squad 0 member is saying that and the two groups face off. Ui strikes at squad 0 and Hirako blocks while giving orders for Shio and Rikai to attack Hajime and for Yusa to attack Ui. Yusa slashes at Ui, who kicks him away and tells him that his approach was incorrect. He strikes at Yusa who dodges and backs away near Hirako. Hirako tells him how to correct his way of fighting and Ui states that he won't give them the time. Shio and Rikai begin attacking Hajime and drive him backwards. He flips back and Shio strikes at him but he dodges, claiming that they will die there because Kaneki wasn't there. Hajime kicks Shio in he air and attempts to impale him with his kagune, but Shio dodges by scraping his knuckles on the kagune and flips, landing near Hirako. Shio cries over his bleeding knuckles and Hirako tells him to fight Hajime as if he were a ghoul and not human.

Touka is leading the rest of the ghouls to safety. She is trying to get them as far away as possible so they won't be followed. She worries that there are too many of them and that she doesn't want to sadden Kaneki. Suddenly, a knife is lodged into her shoulder.
