Ward 13, Undisclosed Ramen Shop
I'm wearing a blue t-shirt, black jeans, and black Converse. Eto is wearing a green sweater, black shorts, red rim glasses, and purple Converse. She's visibly pregnant. We're eating our bowl of ramen. For me, Shoyu, and for Eto, Miso.
"Isaac. Why did you forgive me after that talk we had in my apartment?" Eto said, wondering, as I slurp my noodles. I then take a few seconds to collect myself.
"For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more. Hebrews Chapter 8, Verse 12." I said, as Eto had a surprised look on her face.
"After I forgave my dad, shortly before Arima killed him, I took an interest in learning about the Bible. Whenever I had time, I would usually check out verses that would pique my interest." I said, as Eto slurped her noodles.
"Like the Book of Genesis, Book of Exodus, and Book of Joshua?" Eto said, curious.
"Precisely. Though my favorite one is the Book of Job." I said, as Eto raised an eyebrow.
"The one about theodicy?" Eto said.
"I don't know that term. Can you explain?" I said, curious.
"Why God allows those who are good in nature to suffer." Eto said, clarifying.
"I see." I said, satisfied with Eto's answer.
"Like I said, when you told me about your role in my parents' deaths, I should've lashed out towards you. But I didn't, because when you told me about your upbringing, I felt sorry for you." I said, calmly, as Eto had a saddened look on her face.
"Considering how much we went through over the years before we crossed paths, I figured if this child of ours is going to enter our lives, we're going to make sure that they don't suffer the same fate as us." I said, as a somber smile emerges from my face.
"I see." Eto said, as she places her hands on her stomach.
"So, The Bible has a lot to say about life, huh?" Eto said, chuckling.
"That it does." I said, as I drank my can of Coke Zero, while Eto drank her green tea.
"Hey, Isaac." Eto said, as I looked at her.
"What is it, Eto?" I said, curious.
"I'm setting an appointment for a prenatal ultrasound scan. To figure out if our child is a boy or girl." Eto said.
"As long as Dr. Kano isn't the one that's doing it, I'll be okay with it." I said, reminding Eto.
"Got it." Eto said, as she gets up from her seat to kiss my lips.

Ward 13, Miyano Complex, 5th Floor, Room 502
I'm wearing a black sleeveless shirt, black pajama bottoms, and black socks. I'm reading Dear Kafka, Eto's first novel that she wrote under the pen name Sen Takatsuki. Eto let me in on a little secret a while back about the book. When it came time to publish the book, she rewrote the summary at the last minute, so that her dad wouldn't notice that it was about him. To quote Eto, "What cannot change can only be shattered. For me, it was necessary to leave everything inside the womb." I then hear light taps from the window next to Eto's bedroom. I see a pink appendage.
"That must be Eto." I said, as I got up and opened the window. Eto comes flying in from the window, as she retracts her Ukaku from her shoulders. Eto is wearing a maroon hoodie, blue shorts, and is wrapped head to toe in bandages.
"Hey." Eto said, as she giggled.
"Buenas tardes, mi amor (Good evening, my love)." I said, as Eto removes the bandages wrapped around her face to kiss my lips.
"Got time for a session?" Eto said, as I pull out the box of Trojan from the mini drawer.
"Sure." I said, as Eto removes her maroon hoodie, and tosses it to the floor. I wrap my arms around her waist, as I kiss her lips while she places her wrapped hands on my warm, pink cheeks. Eto then proceeds to remove my shirt, as she got a look at my moderately toned chest. She places her right hand and makes traces of my abs. Eto moans with delight as she presses her bandage wrapped cleavage on my chest. I then get onto the bed, as Eto follows suit.
Eto proceeds to kiss my lips, as I fall onto my back. Eto plants kisses on my chest and shoulders, as she begins to pant. I start to slowly unwrap the bandages on her chest.
"Where does it start? Your breasts?" I said, wondering, as Eto looked at me.
"To the right side of my back." Eto said, as she allowed me to get up to my knees and unwrap the bandages around her chest. I let out a sensual moan, as I begin to see her delicate, pink nipples shortly after I remove her bandages and place them on the floor. I place my hands on her breasts, as I press my chest against her back.
"Right there, yep. Right there." Eto said, as I gentle massaged her nipples. I then proceed to kiss and lick her neck, slowly. She then turns around and lays me down gently. She proceeds to make the first 2 thrusts against my pelvis.
"Feels so good." I said, as my cheeks turn pink, as I let out a gentle thrust.
"Little harder, Isaac." Eto said, demanding, as I gave out a harder thrust. Eto has a surprised look on her face in response.
"You said harder." I said, chuckling, as I turn Eto over. I then proceed to lower Eto's blue shorts and drop them to the floor. I'm looking at her purple panties, as she then pulls my pajama bottoms down. I kick it to the floor. I then roll myself back on top of her, as Eto kisses my lips. I give out three thrusts, as Eto moans loudly.
"How much longer?" Eto said, as I look at her.
"Do you want to me to eat yours first?" I said, curious.
"Please do." Eto said, as I pull her panties down. I can see that she has also wrapped her lower half with bandages.
"Sorry. Let me help you with that." Eto said, as she rips the bandages off to give me a full view of her vagina. I sensually lick my lips, as Eto giggles.
"Savor it." Eto said, sensually, as I lick Eto's upper right thigh, all the way up to her entrance. Eto's toes begin to curl, as she lets out a soft purr. I place my hands on her thighs for support. Eto lets out a soft gasp, as I lick her clitoris.
"That's it, keep going." Eto said, begging.
"¿Más rápido o más lento (Faster or slower)?" I said, wondering, as Eto had a confused look on her face.
"Fast or slow?" I said, clarifying, while still licking her vagina.
"A little faster." Eto said, as I picked up the pace. Tears stream down Eto's face, as I continue to sensually lick her vagina. Eto squeezes her breasts, and plays with her nipples, as I get a good view of the action.
"I see someone wants me to finish quickly." I said, chuckling.
"Yes! I'm getting a little impatient!" Eto said, as I smiled.
"Hold on." I said, as I went back down, and continued to lick her vagina.
"Eto, where's your G-spot?" I said, wondering.
"On the RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!" Eto said, screaming in joy as I licked the most sensitive area in Eto's vagina. Two more licks and Eto's juices begin to spurt out of her vagina, as I swallow it whole. I wipe my mouth, and lick whatever residue was left from Eto's juices. I then look at Eto, who is panting heavily, while her cheeks are flushed red. I then proceed to kiss her vagina, and proceed to plant kisses on her stomach, and then her breasts.
"Enrapture me, baby." Eto said, as I sucked, licked, and kissed her nipples. Eto lets out a soft moan, as she gently squeezes my testicles with her right hand.
"¿Estás seguro de que no quieres llamarlo una noche (Are you sure you don't want to call it a night)?" I said, as I smiled at her.
"In your dreams. I want your friend." Eto said, as she rolled herself up top and removed my black boxers. She gazes upon my erect shaft and begins to drool.
"Stare at it as much as you like." I said, as Eto laughed. She then proceeds to pump my shaft with her left hand for 15 seconds, as I let out a chuckle and a gasp.
"I see your friend is a little leakier than usual." Eto said, as she sensually licks the precum off her left hand. She inserts my shaft into her vagina and begins to sensually suck.
"Sigue, sigue (keep going, keep going)." I said, sensually.
"Do you want me to bite your penis off?" Eto muffled, as I had a horrified look on my face.
"I'm not a Ghoul. I can't regenerate." I said, worried, as Eto laughed.
"I was kidding, you goof ball." Eto said, as she bobs her head up and down. She continues to lick, kiss, and pump my shaft to her heart's delight, as I let out a few weak whimpers.
"You're so good at this." I said, as tears streamed down my face.
"Thanks for the compliment." Eto said, as she slaps my left…asset. I have an o-shaped look on my face, as Eto giggles.
"What?" Eto said, as I hilariously facepalmed. I then slap Eto's left ass cheek, as Eto had a surprised look on her face, while still having my shaft in her mouth.
"What?" I said, countering.
"Naughty motherfucker." Eto said, as she pumps my shaft for 10 seconds until…
"AHHH!" I shouted, as I covered my mouth with my left hand, as my semen bursts out of my penis. Eto then proceeds to lick my semen, wiping my shaft clean. She then wipes her mouth as she speaks.
"Still delicious." Eto said, chuckling.
"Round 3?" I said, wondering, as Eto opens the packet containing the condom.
"Let's." Eto said, as she slides the condom into my shaft. I then get up to my knees as I kiss her lips, while she wraps her arms around my neck, as I fall on top of her.
"Ready?" Eto said, as I lined up my shaft at her entrance.
"I'm ready." I said, as I place my shaft inside her vagina.
"Dime cuándo empezar (Tell me when to begin)." I said, as Eto adjusted her hips.
"Begin." Eto said, as I gave out three thrusts against her hips. Eto lets out a soft whimper, as she bites into my left shoulder during the second thrust. Blood begins to emerge from the wound that Eto made as I bear the pain.
"You taste so delicious, Isaac." Eto said, as she licks the blood off my shoulder, like it was a lollipop.
"¿Es eso así (Is that so)?" I said, with a sly smile on my face.
"Honest truth." Eto said, giggling, as she delivers two thrusts. I let out a soft gasp and a chuckle, as Eto flips me over. She presses her breasts behind my back as I let out a soft moan.
"Hold up." I said, as we switched positions.
"Tell me when." I said.
"Start." Eto said, as I slowly insert the tip of my penis inside her anus.
"Ahh…Ahh…" Eto said, whimpering.
"I think I should—" I said, worried, before Eto spoke.
"Wait, wait. I can handle it now." Eto said.
"Are you sure?" I said, cautious.
"For sure." Eto said, as I continued to insert my shaft into her anus.
"There it is. There it is!" Eto said, satisfied, as I began to thrust.
"Pick up the pace!" Eto said, chuckling, as I continued to deliver numerous thrusts. Eto begins to pant heavily, as her cheeks turn crimson, while my cheeks turn red.
"Harder, goddamn it!" Eto said, aggressively, as I continued to thrust at her command for 60 seconds. Tears are streaming down our faces, as Eto spoke.
"Come on, come on!" Eto said, begging to reach nirvana again, as I abruptly stop.
"Why'd you stop?" Eto said, wondering as I turned her around.
"I didn't want to hurt you." I said, as I wiped the tears off her face. Eto chuckles in response.
"Yeah, perhaps I was going a bit overboard, as I always do." Eto said, as I move my head towards her and kiss her cheeks, nose, and lips. I wrap my arms around her neck, as I fall on top of her. Eto digs her black-polish fingernails into my back the moment I insert my shaft back into her vagina.
"How close are you?" I said, wondering, as I give out three thrusts.
"Close!" Eto said, frantic, as I thrusted my pelvis against hers once more. We're rolling each other over one another, like conejos (rabbits) until finally…
"I love you, Isaac." Eto said, as she lets out a soft cry.
"I love you too, ETOOOOO!" I shouted, as my semen bursts out of the tip of my penis and into the condom I was wearing. Eto lets out a ferocious scream, as her juices leak out of her vagina. The both of us are panting heavily, as Eto wraps her legs around my waist for a few seconds before letting go.
"That was fucking amazing." Eto said, out of breath, as she kisses my lips.
"I'll say." I said, chuckling, as Eto deactivates her right Kakugan.

Ward 13, Miyano Complex, 5th Floor, Room 502
Eto and I are back in her bedroom, as we had just finished rinsing ourselves off from the blood, sweat, tears, and semen that was spilled in our love session. I've put my black boxers, black pajama bottoms, and sleeveless black shirt back on. Eto is wearing a green Calvin Klein bra, purple panties, and her red rim glasses. We get under the sheets, as I speak.
"So, how was the talk you had with our target?" I said, wondering.
"I made sure that idiot wouldn't fuck with us anymore." Eto said, giggling.
05/15/15, 9:47 PM
Ward 1, Undisclosed Alley
"Scheiße! Mein Arm...Er heilt immer noch nicht (German for 'Fuck! My arm…It's still not healing up')." Karren said, bitterly. She's wearing a black trench coat, black pants, and black leather shoes. She's resting near a garbage can, trying to regain her strength after the parking structure ambush from the night before.
Damn Sanpaku! I'll kill him in our next encounter…Master Shu… Karren thought, as she then hears giggles above him.
"Toddle, toddle." Eto said, as Kanae looked up above. He sees Eto, perched above an alley staircase railing. Eto's wearing a maroon hoodie, blue shorts, and is wrapped head to toe in bandages.
Wer zum Teufel... (German for 'Who the fuck…')?! Kanae thought, on edge, as Eto speaks.
"Hello, Kanae." Eto said, menacingly.
When did she-?! Is she a Ghoul? No, her scent is different, Kanae thought as Eto spoke.
"Strange scent, huh?" Eto said, giggling, as Kanae has a shocked look on her face. Eto then proceeds to jump off the railing, and lands on her feet. She slowly walks towards Kanae.
"You're probably thinking what the fuck am I." Eto said, giggling, as she pulls out a red apple from the pocket of her maroon hoodie.
"A Ghoul? A human? If you guess correctly, I'll give you an apple." Eto said, as she unwrapped the bandages around her mouth and proceeds to take a bite out of the apple.
"Mmm. Fresh one." Eto said, chuckling.
"What do you want from me?" Kanae said, suspicious.
"From what I've heard, you're the last surviving member of the Rosewald family, aren't you?" Eto said, calmly.
How the fuck does she know who I am? Kanae thought, as he summons two purple ribbon-like Rinkaku tentacles from his hips.
"Spiel keine Spielchen mit mir, Kind (German for 'Don't play games with me, child')." Kanae said, angrily.
"You can satisfy my hunger!" Kanae said, as he lunges his tentacles towards Eto.
"AH HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Eto shouted, as she dodges the tentacles while dust and smoke fill the scene. Kanae looks for Eto.
"Where'd you go?" Kanae said, as Eto popped up in front of him. Kanae has an alarmed look on his face as Eto activates her right Kakugan.
"Are you sure you want to consume ALL of me?" Eto said, giggling, as she looks deep into Kanae's violet eyes.
"A One-Eyed Ghoul?!" Kanae said, shocked.
"Yep, that's correct!" Eto said, as multiple appendages of various colors (red, blue, purple) pierce through Kanae's stomach, while two grab onto the railing staircase that Eto jumped from for support.
"GAH!" Kanae said, as blood gushed out of his mouth. He then hears the appendages speak.
"INDEED! UAAAAGH. ETO! HYA HAA! DEAD? DEAD? YAAAAY! GROSS. INDEED." Eto's appendages said, leaving Kanae in shock.
Was zum... (German for 'What the…')?! Kanae thought, as Eto retracts her appendages, but detaches the ones that clung to the railing and has them wrap around Kanae's body.
"Let's kill! SNAAP! DO IT! No, no." Eto's appendages said.
"Are you full?" Eto said, giggling, as she walked towards Kanae.
This thing…is a Kagune?! Kanae thought, as he coughed up more blood.
"Potential determines the size of the Kagune. Intelligence determines the shape. Simply put, you just don't have the imagination or the high RC Cell Concentration that I have." Eto said, as she took another bite of her apple.
"Have you read the Book of Genesis, Kanae?" Eto said, as she sat down in crisscross position.
"Where are you going with this?" Kanae said, in a weak but annoyed manner.
"I like it. My husband introduced me to The Bible a few years ago when we conceived our first child. He was upset about how I got his parents killed." Eto said, as Kanae had a deadpan look on his face.
"Don't give me that look, asshole. Where was I? Instead of killing me, he forgave me. When I asked him why, he told me that his father taught him what forgiveness was in the Bible. That was when I realized that the world did have something for me after all." Eto said, as she looked at the red apple.
"The apple, or the forbidden fruit in the Book of Genesis, is a tool of knowledge. I wonder why God planted the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden." Eto said, as she raised the apple towards Kanae's face.
"A bit cruel. I mean, it's as if God is begging you to take a bite out of it. Tell me, Kanae. Do you practice Christianity like my husband? Are you Islamic? Atheist? Jewish? Buddhist?" Eto said, as Kanae offered no response.
"Just what are you…?" Kanae said, weakly.
"I'm just curious. God to me isn't the Almighty Father, but a child with power beyond control. Don't you think this world is completely…broken? Case in point, you." Eto said, as Kanae's eyes widen in disbelief.
"No matter how hard you tried, your master couldn't regain his senses for nearly 3 years. Yet, just shortly after he regains his senses once Haise Sasaki appeared, you went after the Q's, not for your master, but to make Sasaki suffer. All so you could fulfill your own desires towards your master." Eto said, menacingly.
My desires? Kanae thought, worried.
"'It's not fair', you would say. You tried to murder what Sasaki held dear so you could rejoice in his suffering. There was however, one problem." Eto said, as she glared at Kanae.
"Problem?" Kanae said, nervously.
"You tried to have my husband murdered as well. The man in black." Eto said, as Kanae's eyes widen in horror.
Wait! Ars…no, Isaac is…is…Eto's husband!? This is the leader of Aogiri Tree?! Kanae thought, horrified, as he deactivated his Kakugan.
"Please, you must understand—" Kanae said, pleading, before Eto interrupted.
"Isaac told me about how you hired another Ghoul to kill him. He said six of our Aogiri members tried to kill him, Sasaki, and the Q's last night." Eto said, calmly.
"I only hired 4!" Kanae said, affirming Eto's suspicions.
"So you do admit your guilt. You have zero compassion for your master. Because if he's happy, shouldn't YOU?" Eto said, as the appendages stuck to the railing disintegrate, causing Kanae to collapse to his knees.
"You didn't TRULY wish for your master to recover all this time. And yet, if your plan to kill Sasaki resulted in the death of my husband, I would've been left a widow to two of his daughters." Eto said, menacingly.
"You're wrong! I truly care for Master Shu from the bottom of my—" Kanae said, before Eto interrupted.
"Shut up. He doesn't fucking love you, like how my husband and I love each other." Eto said, giggling.
"Shut up! Master Shu is…" Kanae said.
"You're just being clingy." Eto said bluntly, as she towered over Kanae.
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" Kanae shouted, angrily, as Eto giggled, while Kanae lowered his head down in shame.
"Let's bust that shit wide open. You. Don't. Want. To. Be. Alone." Eto said, as a devious smile emerged from her face.
"What you truly want right now is an apple. Your life…in exchange for power and knowledge." Eto said, as a purple appendage emerges from her right shoulder.
"LET ME BE YOUR FUCKING GOD." Eto said, menacingly.

Ward 13, Miyano Complex, Fifth Floor, Room 502
"Thanks. Like I said, I won't ask what you did with that guy." I said, as Eto kissed my lips while I wrapped my arms around her lustrous waist. Eto and I then hear knocking on the door.
"I'll get it." I said, as I got out of bed to unlock the door. I open it and Emilia is standing there. She's wearing purple pajamas.
"Mamá. Papá (Mom. Dad)." Emilia said, worried.
"Is something wrong, Emilia?" Eto said, wondering as she put on a Paramore t-shirt.
"I had a nightmare." Emilia said, somberly.
"What was it about?" I said, wondering.
"That you and mommy left me and Asami behind." Emilia said, as a tear streamed down her left eye.
"We would never do that to you, sweetie." Eto said, as she got up and hugged Emilia. I follow suit.
"Oye. ¿Quieres dormir conmigo y con tu mamá esta noche (Hey. Do you want to sleep with me and your mom for tonight)?" I said, as Emilia nodded her head yes.
"Okay. Eto. I'll bring Asami over. Is that okay?" I said.
"Sure." Eto said, as she smiled.
I mean, Isaac and I are psychologically fucked, but… Eto thought, as she takes Emilia to the bed.
…Eto and I are determined to make sure our daughters have a proper life. No importa qué (No matter what), I thought, as I enter Asami's room. She's wearing a green onesie, as I gently carry her in my arms.
"Come on, Asami. We're going to be sleeping with Emilia and your mom tonight." I whispered, as I walked back into Eto's bedroom. I then gently hand Asami over to Eto, as Emilia moves to the left side of the bed.
"Emilia…" Eto said, as she looks at her.
"Asami…" I said, as I look at her.
"We will always love you, no matter what." Eto and I whispered, simultaneously.
"Asami and I love you too, guys." Emilia said, as the four of us began to slumber,
05/16/15, 1:58 AM
Ward 1, The Chateau, Capitán's Room
Capitán is sleeping in his bed. He's wearing a black t-shirt, blue shorts, and white socks.
"Mmm…714…707…" Capitán mumbled.
?, ?
Capitán finds himself at a playground. He's sitting at the bottom of a slide, as he gets up and analyzes the field around him. He's wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans, and grey/yellow Skechers.
"Where am I?" Capitán said, wondering, as he then sees Kaneki, but instead of the 10-year-old white-haired version, it's the 10-year-old one with black hair, playing in the sandbox. He's wearing a blue shirt, black shorts, and green Skechers.
?, ?
?, ?
Capitán walks around the street as he begins to take it in.
"Why is this street so familiar?" Capitán said, wondering, as he hears a voice from behind.
"It's where Mom and I used to live." White Haired Kaneki said, as Capitán turned to look at him. WHK is wearing a buttoned up white flannel shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes.
"Really?" Capitán said, surprised, as WHK walked pass him and stop at a door on his left side.
"Here. Follow me." WHK said, as he opened the door and gets inside. Capitán follows suit. They find themselves looking at a woman, who is kneeling near a coffee table. She's 5'5, has black hair (neck length), and is wearing a red sweater, blue skirt, black rim glasses, and gray socks. She's cutting the thorns off the red roses that's on the table.
"Ken. You're home." The woman said, happily, while not turning her head to look at them.
"Hi, Mom." WHK said, somberly, as Capitán looked on in shock. He looks at her for 10 seconds before trying to poke her on her right shoulder with his right index finger.
"Hey. Your son's talking to you. You should notice him at least." Capitán said, bothered.
"No use talking to her. I tried. Back then, she worked 3 jobs to make ends meet for her and my aunt." WHK said.
"I'm almost done, Ken." Kaneki's mom said, as she places three more roses into the basket that's beside her.
"She always wanted to save everybody around her after my dad died. But in the end, she pushed herself too far and paid the price for it with her life." WHK said, somberly.
"Did you say something, Ken?" Kaneki's mom said, still not turning her head to look at them.
What the hell is this?! Capitán thought, in shock.
"No, mom. I'm just showing my friend here our house." WHK said, somberly.
"That's wonderful to hear." Kaneki's mom said, still not turning her head around.
"Mom could never choose what was more important in her life. Her sister or me. Mom wasn't kind. She was just a coward, afraid of being alone, as was I." WHK said, as he turned around to walk out of the house, as Capitán followed suit.
?, ?
?, ?
"To tell you the truth, I didn't want to protect everybody. All I wanted was to protect myself. Wait for mom to come home from work as I read my dad's books all by myself." WHK said, as he and Capitán found themselves back at the playground. They then see BHK, who's playing in the sandbox, turn his head to look at them.
"You know, that friend of yours was right about you thinking about yourself." WHK said, as Capitán looked at him.
"Who?" Capitán said, wondering.
"The woman with purple hair. Uhh…Touka?" BHK said, as Capitán felt a sharp pain inside his head. He then blinks his eyes rapidly.
?, ?
?, ?
"What the…?" Capitán said, as he looked to see that BHK was holding on to his right hand with his left hand. They find themselves in a field of red chrysanthemums, as the clouds above them turned into black and white tiles.
"Hey. Do you like your mom?" Capitán said, as he smiled.
"Yeah. She works very hard. Always working till late at night." BHK said, as he rubbed the bottom of his chin with his left hand.
That's not what the other one said, Capitán thought, floored.
"I want to help people just like mom did when I grow up." BHK said, happily, as Capitán collapsed to his knees.
"Stop it. Stop it. Just…stop." Capitán said, bothered as he looked down at the ground while tears streamed down his face.
"Why am I being shown this?" Capitán said, tearfully, as he hears another voice.
"Hey." The voice said, as Capitán looked up to see that 10-year-old BHK is now 18 years old. ABHK is wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans, and blue Skechers, as he kneels in front of Capitán.
"We were very horrible back then, right?" ABHK said, as he chuckled.
"You saved me many times back when you were me. I was weak and helpless back then, so you took my place. I thanked you for everything back then." ABHK said, as he hugged Capitán.
"Just go back to sleep, man." ABHK said, as he disintegrated.
"Crap. I should've asked mom to cook me some hamburger steak before this. Oh well." ABHK said, as Capitán's eyes widen in shock. He begins to see flashes of the day that Kaneki's life was upended. He remembers the bite that Rize took from his left shoulder. The chase to the construction site. The moment he saw me screaming out Rize's name. The moment the steel beams were dropped on him and Rize from 500 feet above them. And the last image that he saw before bleeding out was that of Sota delivering a peace sign gesture with his right hand.

Ward 1, The Chateau, Capitán's Room
"28! 21!" Capitán said, as he woke up from his dream. He wipes the sweat off his face as the alarm clock on his Droid Turbo went off. He then hears a knock on the door.
"Come in." Capitán said, as he sighed. The door opens. It's Mutsuki. He's wearing a green t-shirt, blue shorts, and a black leather eyepatch.
"Is everything okay, Sensei? I heard you shouting." Mutsuki said, concerned.
"Just a bad dream." Capitán said, as he rubbed his eyes.
"You want me to make breakfast today?" Mutsuki said.
"Sure. Would be nice for someone else to take the wheel." Capitán said, as he got up from his bed.

Ward 13, Miyano Complex, 5th Floor, Room 502
Eto and I are eating our breakfast. Fluffy pancakes and eggs (with sliced and fried stomach for Eto), with orange juice, as I take my ADHD medication. Emilia is eating her pancakes, while Eto is feeding Asami her baby food (apple sauce and pureed carrots).
"So, Emilia. Did you sleep well?" I said, wondering.
"Yes, daddy." Emilia said, happily.
"That's wonderful to hear, Emilia." Eto said, as she moved the spoon around like a rocket, before feeding the apple sauce to Asami.
"There you go, Asami." Eto said, giggling, as I look at my daughters and Eto, while a smile emerges from my face.

Ward 1, CCG HQ, S1 Squad Conference Room, 57th Floor
"We have something to report." Shirazu said, calmly as he looks at everybody around him at the large square table. I'm wearing a black suit over a white work shirt, blue tie, black pants, black rim glasses, and black Converse. I'm sitting next to Shirazu (yellow work shirt over a gray tie, black pants, and black leather shoes). Capitán is wearing a black work shirt over a green tie, black pants, and black leather shoes.

Takeomi is wearing a black suit over a white work shirt, black tie, black pants, and black leather shoes.
Next to Takeomi is Furuta (black suit over a white work shirt, black bow tie, black pants, black leather shoes, and black gloves). Kijima is wearing a black suit over a white work shirt, red bow tie, black pants, black gloves, black hat, and a left black leather shoe. Shimoguchi is wearing a blue suit over a white work shirt, blue tie, blue pants, and black leather shoes.
Behind the square table are Urie (purple work shirt, black pants, purple gloves, and black leather shoes), Mutsuki (black work shirt over a yellow tie, black pants, black leather eyepatch, and black leather shoes), and Saiko (blue work shirt, black skirt, and blue Skechers). They're sitting at a separate table behind me, Capitán, and Shirazu.
Behind Shimoguchi are Satomi (5'4, blue eyes, black hair, with a ponytail in the back, with a bob cut in the front; she's wearing a white jacket over a black work shirt, blue skirt, and black heels), and Toga (5'3, purple eyes, brown hair, with a ponytail in the back and parted hair on the left side; she's wearing a white jacket over a black work shirt, yellow skirt, and purple heels).
"It's become clear that Pink Rosé has formed an alliance with Aogiri Tree." Capitán said, as everybody around us has various looks on their faces.
"A number of them ambushed me, my mentors, and the rest of Project Q." Shirazu said, calmly.
"It happened on the night of 05/14. Now, this is just speculation…" I said, as Capitán finished the sentence.
"…but it's very likely that it was retaliation for the video that Kijima posted all over social media." Capitán said, as Kijima chuckled.
"My, oh my. Guess posting the video really did pay off." Kijima said, in his raspy voice. Ui has an irked look on his face as he speaks.
"PAY OFF?! That's not something to be proud of." Ui said, angrily.
"Are you sure? Pink Rosé and Aogiri. Together. That means if we prepare the teams and confront those organizations…" Kijima said, as I then hear Saiko snoring behind me (AGAIN). I then raise my hand, as Furuta took notice.
"Something wrong, Investigator Gutierrez?" Furuta said, curious, as Kijima stopped talking.
"Give me one second." I said, as I got up from my seat, turned around, and walked towards Saiko.
Uh oh, Mutsuki thought, as I then clapped my hands as hard as I can.
"AAHH!" Saiko shouted, as she fell off her seat. Most of the people around us start to laugh. Mutsuki has an embarrassed look on his face. Urie lets out a small chuckle. Saiko has an extremely frustrated look on her face, as I speak.
"Tercera vez. Deja de quedarte dormido (Third time. Stop falling asleep)." I said, annoyed, as I got back to my seat.
"Sorry about that. Please continue, Investigator Kijima." I said, calmly.
"Right. If we confront Pink Rosé and Aogiri, we have a shot of taking down their leaders. Does that not sound like pay off to you, Investigator Ui?" Kijima said, wondering.
"You've unnecessarily expanded the scope of the investigation! S1 won't be able to handle something this unprecedented!" Ui said, annoyed.
"Investigator Ui." Hairu said, as Ui looked at her.
"I'm sorry, but I have to agree with Investigator Kijima on this one." Hairu said, as Ui facepalmed.
Damn it, Hairu, Ui thought, frustrated, as he spoke.
"Please remember, Hairu. The issue here is that we don't have a clear picture of the enemy." Ui said, as he glared at Hairu.
Honestly, was she not taught GITA's curriculum when she transferred from the Garden? Ui thought, as Hairu sighed.
"Okay, I'm sorry." Hairu said, playfully.
Better shut up now that Ui's in Mommy Mode, Hairu thought.
"Ui, it's time." I said, calmly, as Ui looked at me.
"No." Ui said, annoyed.
"It's been a month! We've had no progress on OPR! At least RECONSIDER Investigator Sasaki's plan!" I said, frustrated.
"Fine. Investigator Sasaki, please explain to everyone Operation Mask." Ui said, annoyed.
"Yes, sir! My plan utilizes Ghoul behavior and our characteristics as Q's." Sasaki said.
"All right. Excluding Investigators Sasaki and Gutierrez, the members of Project Q, and those below Rank 1, I want a show of hands to those who approve Investigator Sasaki's Operation Mask." Ui said, calmly.
"Investigator Gutierrez is right, Investigator Ui. Why was that plan put on hold?" Kijima said, as he raised his right hand. Furuta looks at Kijima.
If Kijima approves…Furuta thought, as he raised his left hand.
"I second that." Furuta said, calmly.
Shimoguchi has a neutral, but disapproving look on his face, as Satomi and Toga look at him.
If Shimoguchi isn't raising his hand.., Satomi thought.
…I guess we have to object as well, Toga thought.
"Aye." Hairu said, as she raised her left hand.
"An intriguing idea. Though I'm curious to know how Gutierrez will be involved in this." Kuramoto said, as he raised his right hand.
"That does sound intriguing. I'm with Kuramoto on this." Michibata said, as he raised his right hand. Fura offers no response but raises his right hand. The vote is now 6-3, as the plan for Operation Mask has been approved. Ui lets out a somber sigh, as I look at him.
"6-4, Ui. You can't dispute this." I said, with a smile on my face.

Ward 1, CCG HQ, 57th Floor
"Congratulations, Haise & Isaac. Operation Mask has been approved." Akira said, as she greeted us. Akira is wearing a white jacket over a black work shirt, small red tie, white skirt, and black heels.
"Isaac, how are you going to pretend to be a Ghoul?" Capitán said, curious.
"Relax, Capitán. I'll just go to Amazon." I said, as Akira and Capitán had puzzled looks on their faces.
"What? It's how I bought bottles of coyote piss on Amazon." I said, bluntly.
"Wait, there's where you got…?" Akira said, flustered.
"You be surprised at what Amazon can sell these days." I said, chuckling, as Mutsuki and Shirazu had embarrassed looks on their faces.
They sell that stuff at Amazon?! Shirazu and Mutsuki thought, baffled.
Disgusting, but you do you, Gutierrez, Urie thought, shrugging his shoulders.
"Blegh!" Saiko said, as she stuck out her tongue, as Akira looked at Saiko.
"Haise, I almost forgot." Akira said, as Capitán looked at her.
"I need to speak to Isaac & Yonebayashi in my office." Akira said, as Saiko had a puzzled look on her face.
From that worried look on her face, I'm guessing Akira read the reports about the Parking Structure ambush and wants to more about what went down with Takizawa and the man in the black robe, I thought, as Saiko and I walked with Akira to the elevator.
"They did something wrong?" Shirazu said, curious.
"No. I think it's about the T-Owl and the man in the robe that Isaac and Saiko saw." Capitán said, as the elevator opened and Saiko, Akira and I got inside. I look at Capitán and the rest of Project Q as the elevator closes, taking us down to the 39th Floor.
Chapter 97 complete.
Author's Notes:
This was an adaptation of Chapter 140 of TG OG, Chapters 42 and 43 of TG: re, and Season 3, Episode 10 of the anime version.
An inside look at how Isaac and Eto handle their psychological and mental well-being, which is in cautious, but firm shape, unlike Kaneki/Capitán's, which is in complete disarray (from the dream he had about his mom). I'm planning to incorporate more of Kaneki's time at Ward 11 from TG OG as either flashback or dream sequences.
Yes, the reimagining of TG: re is going to focus on religious aspects, as seen by Isaac and Eto's flashback when they talked about the Bible, post Operation Nocturnal Slumber.
Chapter 98, Operation Mask.
