"Another busy night, huh?" The male customer said, wondering, as the manager of the restaurant washed the dishes.
"Ten-year anniversary today." The manager said, calmly, as the customer chuckled.
"Time sure flies. It was great seeing some of the old regulars tonight." The customer said, calmly, as the manager then sees multiple Oggai enter the restaurant. Each member of the Oggai is wearing a black suit, black pants, black leather belt, black leather shoes, and upper half black mask.
"There he is." Mayazumi said, calmly.
"Does he match the description from the file?" Mayazumi said, quietly, as Oggai #1 nodded his head yes.
"I'll be right with you." The manager said, as Mayazumi activated his left Kakugan and summoned a scaly red Rinkaku tentacle from his left hip. He lunges it towards the back of the customer's neck, as blood spills out of his mouth and throat, killing him. The customer's face falls into the jamón ibérico, as the manager lets out a deafening scream.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH-Mmmmmgh…" The manager said, as he finds his cheeks clenched by Mayazumi's right hand, who then deactivates his left Kakugan.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Mayazumi said, as he smiled.
"I bet your customer enjoyed getting a kick out of preying on first time customers." Mayuzami said, calmly, as the manager looked at the customer.

"Hey…wait a second!" The cashier said, as he then finds himself tackled by Mutsuki while the crowd gathered. Mutsuki is wearing a white trench coat, white pants, black leather belt, black leather eyepatch, and white Reebok's. Mutsuki then plunges his Quinque, Abksol, into the cashier's throat.
"Wh—y ar—e you…?" The cashier said, as blood gushed out of his mouth, while Mutsuki looked confused.
"Mmm? Because you're a Ghoul. You must be eradicated." Mutsuki said, ominously, as the crowd had various reactions to what just occurred.

Ward 13, Shibuya Crossing
Nishio is wearing an unzipped blue sweater, yellow t-shirt, brown pants, black leather belt, brown rim glasses, and black Vans. He looks at the jumbotron and sees Furuta. Furuta is wearing a black uniform, black pants, black leather belt, black leather shoes, and red gloves.
"Everyone! The eradication rate is now at 90% across all 23 wards of Tokyo! Keep up the good work, X1000! Bring PEACE to OUR city!" Furuta said, boastfully, as Nishio clicked his tongue.

Urie is wearing a white trench coat over a black work shirt, black pants, black leather belt, purple leather gloves, and brown leather shoes. Hsiao is wearing a skintight black suit, knee high black boots, and blue gloves that cover the entirety of both her arms. Saiko is wearing a black poncho over a white trench coat, black skirt (knee length), black leggings, and blue Converse. Touma is wearing a red poncho over a blue jacket, black pants, purple leather gloves, and gray Nike's.
"After them! And make sure to back up the Oggai!" Urie said, as he raised his Quinque, Ginkui, in the air.
"Sir, yes, sir!" Saiko, Touma, and Hsiao said, simultaneously.

Ward 16, 375 feet near Tokiwaso
Number of Days Sober: 86
I'm wearing a black leather jacket, blue sweater, washed out black jeans, and black Converse. Hinami is wearing a black hooded robe over a purple sweater, blue pants, and blue Converse. Irimi is wearing a black leather jacket, sleeveless black shirt, washed out black jeans, and black Converse. She also has black nail polish on her fingernails.
"Isaac, are you sure it came from Kaneki's best friend?" Hinami said, wondering.
"Absolutely. Hide gave me a pic of his mask. He's been hiding as a C Rate Ghoul for the last 4 years and Amon's been working with him." I said, as we sat down at a bench.
"I don't know…it was so sudden, just as we had moved to Ward 24." Irimi said, cautious, as my iPhone 6 Plus went off. I pull it out of my front left pocket. Caller ID says Hide. 1 new text message.
"Meet me by the alley to your left." Hide texted, as I looked to my left.
"Let's go." I said, as we got up and walked towards the alley. We're halfway into the alley and no Hide.
"Disappointing." I said, as we hear rumblings near the garbage can to Hinami's right. Hinami lets out a small gasp, as Hide emerges from the garbage can. Hide is wearing a robe that has turquoise on the left side, and aquamarine on the right side, over a yellow work shirt, loose hakama pants, a black hat, black sandals, and a burlap sack with a henohenomoheji face drawn on it. He also has a drawing board and a green dry erase marker in his hands.
"Hide?" I said, surprised, as Hide looked at the three of us.
"(Indistinct)." Hide said, calmly.
06/30/12, 10:23 PM
Ward 20, Route V14
Hide is wearing black combat gear. He's on the ground, with the skin on his neck torn off, along with the lower half of his face, a few missing teeth, torn lips, a large hole in his left cheek, and damaged vocal cords. He's fading in and out of consciousness.
Kaneki…Hide thought, as he hears footsteps approaching. He doesn't bother opening his eyes, as he waits for death rather than seeing his savior. He's unaware that Tatara and Noro are in front of him. Tatara is wearing a white trench coat, white pants, black leather belt, lower half red iron mask, and black Nordstrom leather shoes. Noro is wearing a black trench coat, black pants, black leather belt, white smiley mask, and black Timberland boots.
"Well…The One-Eyed King did say to save you. So, I have no reason to argue with him." Tatara said, as he looked at Noro.
"Noro. Grab him. And do not eat him. We're to take him to Ward 13. Harajuku." Tatara said, as Noro carried Hide into his arms as they walked back outside.
07/01/12, 12:24 AM
Ward 13, Somewhere in Harajuku
Tatara knocks at the door of the safe house they were instructed to go to. Tatara and Noro wait a few seconds before Hirako emerges from the door. Hirako is wearing white combat gear.
"Did Arima send you?" Hirako said, wondering, as Tatara had an annoyed look on his face.
"All right, come on in." Hirako said, as Tatara and Noro brought an unconscious Hide inside.
07/07/12, 5:06 AM
Ward 13, Somewhere in Harajuku
Hide is wearing blue patient clothes, as he lies in bed, drifting in and out of consciousness. He can barely open his eyes as he sees Hirako and Kimi talking to one another. Hirako is wearing a gray work shirt, black pants, black leather belt, and black Cole Haan leather shoes. Kimi is wearing a white lab coat over a white work shirt, small red tie, black skirt (knee length), purple leggings, and blue heels.
"So, how are the damages to Mr. Nagachika?" Hirako said, wondering.
"It's a miracle that he was brought in at all. Because if he had shown up here an hour later, he'd be dead. The left cheek is beyond salvation, and it'll take years for the skin on his neck to grow back. If he's lucky. The lips are gone, and tooth implants are a no-go." Kimi said, calmly, as Hirako looked at Hide.
"Can he still talk?" Hirako said, curious, as Kimi shooked her head no.
"His vocal cords were ripped out, along with some exposed muscle tissue on his left collarbone." Kimi said, somberly, as Hide fell unconscious.
07/14/12, 7:07 PM
Ward 13, Undisclosed Safe House
"Hide…" Hirako said, as he opened the door to where Hide was in. Hirako is wearing a blue work shirt, black tie, black pants, black leather belt, and black Reebok's. He sees that Hide is gone.
"Shit…" Hirako said, dryly, as he sees a note on the bed. He picks up the note. It read:
Sorry. There are some things that I got to do on my own.
03/17/16, 1:04 PM
Ward 16, Undisclosed Alley"Hide…is that you?" I said, wondering, as Hide opened the cap of the dry erase green marker and started writing on the white board.
"What's he writing?" Irimi said, wondering, as Hide flipped it over. It read:
Yeah, it's me. I heard that you did some things while I was in the shadows. Let's catch up, Mothman.
"I'm guessing Amon told you about my ties to Aogiri Tree and Eto, huh, Scarecrow?" I said, wondering, as Hide nodded his head yes.
"Did he also tell you about how I killed Dr. Kano?" I said, curious, as Hide erased what he wrote down and quickly wrote down what he had in mind, before flipping it over. It read:
A bit messed up, but I understand why you did it. Dr. Kano chose to become a doctor because he wanted to use Ghoul powers to improve medical care. It would've been the perfect opportunity for him to put us in his debt and further develop his research.
"That pendejo (motherfucker) deserved everything that was coming to him, full stop." I said, coldly, as Hide let out a nervous sigh.
"Look, I'm sorry for what I said, but if you had seen how he made my life, and others such as Kaneki, a living hell…you'd understand." I said, calmly, as Hide erased his whiteboard and wrote another sentence, before flipping it over. It read:
Your father was at the center of Operation Clown Sweep. He found himself in an unwinnable situation. Numerous dead civilians, courtesy of the Clowns. I think Furuta brought them in because they share the same hatred as he does.
"Some of them." I said, as I uncomfortably pictured Roma, as Hide erased what he wrote on the white board and wrote something new. It read:
Is there anyone from the Clowns that wants you dead, other than Furuta?
"Uta? No. Nico? Unfinished business, but he seems lazy to do it. Roma? Full blown obsessed in terms of sex. Porpora? I keep calling him a pedophile for shits and giggles. Itori…? Shit, I just remembered." I said, as Irimi looked at me.
"What?" Irimi said, wondering.
"Before Furuta, Itori and Uta were the co-leaders of the Clowns. My guess? She allowed Furuta to take over so that she could get even with me. But why?" I said, puzzled, as Hinami poked my right shoulder with her left hand.
"Isaac. Hide's giving you something" Hinami said, as I looked at Hide. He's got in his left hand a Salt Pepper Spray Gun.
"An SPSG?" I said, curious, as I took the gun, while Hide quickly erased the whiteboard and wrote something down, before flipping it over yet again. It read:
It's non-lethal. You'll need it for when you confront multiple Ghoul Investigators from here on out. Also, you'll need to shoot with your right hand. I noticed how you're missing a left index finger.
"The price I paid to get my hands on Dr. Kano." I said, calmly.
"Go…to…go…" Hide said, as he turned around and tried to walk away. He stops after two steps and turns to face the three of us.
"Ka…ne…ki?" Hide said, wondering.
"He's doing fine. We're helping each other out. I'm his right-hand man, as we attempt to finish what my wife Eto started." I said, calmly.
"I…see…" Hide said, calmly.
03/17/16, 2:15 PM
Ward 16, Undisclosed Street
Irimi, Hinami, and I are walking when we come across something that catches our eye.
"Shit. Doves and Oggai." Irimi said, quietly, as we spot Ui, Aura, Mutsuki, and numerous Oggai and investigators. Ui is wearing a white trench coat over a black work shirt, black pants, black leather belt, and black Alfani leather shoes. Mutsuki is wearing a white trench coat, white pants, black leather belt, black leather eyepatch, and white Reebok's. Aura's wearing a white trench coat, white pants, white leather belt, and white K-Swiss shoes. They've gathered a crowd of people as my eyes widen in shock upon seeing what it was. I look up above Aura to see Mr. Asaoka, hanging by his neck 30 feet in the air on a streetlight. Mr. Asaoka is wearing a blue jacket over a green sweater, black pants, and black leather shoes. Mr. Asaoka appears severely beaten and has a gunshot wound to the forehead.
"Oh shit." I said, alarmed, as Hinami and Irimi looked at me.
"What's wrong?" Hinami said, wondering.
"I know him. I paid him cash so that I could take his car and phone." I said, ominously.

Mutsuki is wearing a white trench coat, white pants, black leather belt, black leather eyepatch, and white Reebok's. Aura's wearing a white trench coat, white pants, white leather belt, and white K-Swiss shoes. They have just beaten Mr. Asaoka to a pulp. Mr. Asaoka is wearing a blue jacket over a green sweater, black pants, and black leather shoes.
"I told you everything. That asshole held…a gun…to my…face and threatened to blow it off…if I didn't give him…the car…and phone." Mr. Asaoka said, weakly, as Aura clicked his tongue.
"You mean this?" Aura said, coldly, as he held up the Moto Pure X in his right hand.
"We also received an anonymous tip about your car being found 2 miles near Mr. Gutierrez's home at Ward 20. Red 2015 Nissan Altima. You seemed sorry for his well-being and gave him a ride, unaware of how dangerous he was." Mutsuki said, chuckling.
"No, that asshole…broke…my wife's…hand…and…" Mr. Asaoka said, as Aura punched him in the face, causing him to fall onto the ground.
"And yet you took the money. That's a violation of Article 119. You know what that means, right Mutsuki?" Aura said, coldly, as Mutsuki nodded his head yes.
"Wait, what…what…what's Article 119?" Mr. Asaoka said, struggling to say his sentence properly as Mutsuki pulled out an M9 handgun. He pulls back the hammer, as Mr. Asaoka's eyes widen in alarm.
"Hey! Wait! Wait!" Mr. Asaoka said, alarmed, as Mutsuki fires a round at Mr. Asaoka at point blank range, killing him instantly.
"Furuta. We've handled the bait." Mutsuki said, calmly, as Furuta spoke through Mutsuki's left earpiece.
"Excellent." Furuta said, calmly.
03/17/16, 2:18 PM
Ward 16, Undisclosed Location
"All right, everyone! Listen up!" Mutsuki said, as Hinami, Irimi, and I move to a corner where we could still see Mutsuki, Aura, and Ui.
"Any person caught helping Isaac Gutierrez or ANY of his Goat associates will be made an example of, as seen here!" Mutsuki said, as he pointed at Mr. Asaoka's hanging corpse. Hinami then a woman crying erratically.
"Hina. What's wrong?" Irimi said, as I gulped.
"Isaac?" Irimi said, as I then saw Mrs. Asaoka and her son, Yuichi. Mrs. Asaoka is wearing a pink jacket over a blue sweater, blue pants, and gray Skechers. Yuichi is wearing a brown sweater, black pants, black leather belt, and blue Reebok's. I have flashbacks of from that day at Morihoshi Elementary.
"Mierda. Tenemos que irnos ahora (Shit. We need to go now)." I said, alarmed.
"What's wrong?" Hinami said, as I turned around.
"I know that chick. I broke her hand." I said, awkwardly, as Irimi and Hinami looked at me, floored.
"She was a racist bitch to me—" I said, as Mrs. Asaoka notices the three of us turning around and walking away.
"MURDERER!" Mrs. Asaoka shouted, angrily, as my eyes widen in alarm.
"Shit! She spotted us!" I said, alarmed.
"Run!" Irimi said, as she and Hinami activate their Kakugan before we ran like hell.
"After them!" Mutsuki said, venomously, before being stopped by Ui.
"What the f—" Mutsuki said, as Ui spoke.
"He's mine." Ui said, seething with rage, as Mutsuki looked at him, surprised.
03/17/16, 2:23 PM
Ward 3, Undisclosed Location
The boy is 5'0, has brown eyes, and scuffy black hair. He's wearing a black sweater, blue jeans, black beanie hat, and blue Nike's. He's being chased by multiple investigators who are firing at him with their modified M9 handguns. The boy trips upon being shot in the back of his right leg. He's on all fours, wheezing.
"Kill him!" Ghoul Investigator #1 said, sternly as the boy turned to look at them. The boy has his Kakugan activated, as sweat trickles down his face. Suddenly, Naki jumps down in front of the Ghoul Investigator #1 and slashes his throat with his green Kokaku blade. Naki is wearing a white suit over a black flannel shirt, white pants, black leather belt, and black Massimo Matteo leather shoes. The boy reacts in shock, as Naki has a big grin on his face, while his Kakugan eyes widen in delight.
"Shit! White Suits…" Ghoul Investigator #2 said, in fear.
"That's Naki from the Goat…No pressure…" Ghoul Investigator #3 said, as he attempts to fire his M9 handgun at Naki, only for him to dodge left, jump up 10 feet in the air, and slashed Ghoul Investigator #3's arms off with his Kokaku blade.
"AHHH!" Ghoul Investigator #3 screamed, as he fell to the ground, while blood spurted out of his severed arms.
"Sh—" Ghoul Investigator #2 said, as he finds himself stabbed in the upper chest by Naki's Kokaku blade.
"Coast is clear." Naki said, as he pulls the blade out of Ghoul Investigator #2's chest before deactivating his Kakugan and disintegrating his blade. Naki then hears footsteps. He turns to see Hooguro and Shousei helping the boy out.
Shousei is wearing a white suit over a black flannel shirt, white pants, black leather belt, white stick figure mask, and black Massimo Matteo leather shoes. Hooguro is wearing a white suit over a black flannel shirt, white pants, black leather belt, zebra scarf, two-hole white mask, and black Massimo Matteo leather shoes.
"Damn, bro. That was quick." Hooguro said, as he picks up the beanie hat and hands it to the boy.
"You okay, kiddo?" Shousei said, as the boy put his beanie hat on.
"Thanks…" The boy said, as Naki smiled.
"Don't mention it, kid. I'm just a samaramen." Naki said, proudly.
"No, Naki. SAMARITAN." Hooguro said, clarifying, as Hooguro and Shousei take off their masks.
"Let's get the hell out of here before those pipsqueaks in black show up again. Wanna tag along, little man?" Shousei said, wondering.
"Where?" The boy said, curious.
"The Goat's hideout. You'll be safe there." Naki said, calmly.
03/17/16, 2:31 PM
Ward 16, Undisclosed Location
I'm being chased by Ui, as I find myself near an empty three-floor warehouse. I go inside and close the door. I then quickly barricade it, as Ui then slams his right fist onto the door.
"Get back here, you son of a bitch!" Ui said, angrily, as he opens his briefcase to pull out his Quinque, Taruhi. He flicks the whip to break down the door and enters inside. I'm nowhere to be found. He then hears mariachi music playing.
"Where the fuck is it coming from?!" Ui said, unhinged, as he looked to his left to see a staircase. He quickly walks up the stairs, as The Used's 'The Bird and The Worm' plays upstairs.
"All he knows…If he can't relieve it, it grows." The music blared, as Ui takes a quick look at the second floor.
"Come out and show yourself, Isaac!" Ui said, huffing, while tightening his grip on Taruhi.
"(All alone) and so it goes (and so it goes)…" Ui said, as he continued to walk up to the third floor.
"Just so you know, Isaac…" Ui said, as he then sees the iPhone 6 Plus near the window.
"He crawls like a worm…Crawls like a worm from a bird." The phone blared, as Ui ran towards the phone.
"The closer you come towards me, the more lethal Taruhi is." Ui said, frustrated.
"And he crawls like a worm. He crawls like a worm." The phone blared, as Ui grabbed the phone while clicking his tongue.
Might as well take this in as evidence, Ui thought, annoyed.
"He crawls like a worm. Crawls like a…" The phone blared, as Ui pressed stop. At that moment, he hears a hammer being pulled back. His eyes widen in alarm, as he hears my voice.
"Drop the Quinque…right now." I said, calmly, as I placed Ozymandias near his head.
"How the fuck did you close the gap without-." Ui said, as I looked at him, annoyed.
"Shut up. How many of you guys are out there?" I said, wondering, as Ui gulped.
"18." Ui said, nervously.
"Call them off." I said, gritting my teeth.
"Absolutely not!" Ui said, flustered.
"You are talking to a father of two who has NOTHING left to lose. My daughters are not a threat." I said, calmly, as sweat trickled down Ui's neck.
"They are to the CCG." Ui said, in denial.
"Open your eyes, Ui. Hairu's never coming back. You gotta let that shit go." I said, calmly.
"Like hell I will!" Ui said, defiant, as he gripped Taruhi as tight as he could.
"All right. Then let's see whose hand is quickest." I said, as Ui attempts to turn around and flick his whip, only for me to pistol whip him in the nose. Ui falls to the ground, as I then quickly grab my iPhone 6 Plus and ran downstairs, as more rage seethed inside Ui's body.
03/17/16, 7:06 PM
Ward 24, Section F245
"Hey, Naki." Ghoul #1 said, as he waved at Naki, Shousei, Hooguro, and the boy, while Naki waved back. More Ghouls look at them, as Hooguro spoke.
"Stop staring at them. You'll be more likely to be a kidnap victim." Hooguro said, as the boy spoke.
"All of these are Ghouls?" The boy said, curious.
"Yep." Shousei said, calmly.
"Some were here longer than us, though." Naki said, as he sees an abandoned school bus. Inside was Tsukiyama and three other Ghouls working on their computers. Tsukiyama is wearing a black sweater, white pants, black leather belt, and black Vans.
"Monsieur Naki. Welcome back. Is this little boy all you hauled today?" Tsukiyama said, wondering, as he looked at the boy.
"He was being chased at Ward 3. Taking in people like him is the King's way, is that right?" Naki said, wondering, as Tsukiyama clicked his tongue.
"That's correct. But I'm worried that we won't have any beds left for refugees." Tsukiyama said, calmly.
"It's better than up there. Those things' detection rates are better than ours, and the Doves have put in more gates since last week." Naki said, calmly, as Tsukiyama smiled.
"It seems that your vocabulary has improved tenfold, Monsieur, as a result of the King and Isaac's instructions." Tsukiyama said, as Naki chuckled.
"Just a sign of how fucked the world is." Naki said, as he smiled.
"From a boy to a man." Tsukiyama said, calmly.
"Huh?" Naki said, confused, as Tsukiyama looked at the boy.
"What's your name, little one?" Tsukiyama said, wondering.
"Kou." Kou said, calmly.
"All right, then. Let's go to your quarters, Kou." Tsukiyama said, as he walked out of the bus.

Ward 16, Undisclosed Location
"Yeah, Mrs. Asaoka sure wasn't happy that her husband was hung up that streetlight!" I said, frantic, as I turn right, while sprinting past wanted posters of my teammates from Goat.
Wanted: Miza Kusakari. Reward: 450 million yen (around $3.2 million USD).
Wanted: Naki. Reward: 450 million yen (around $3.2 million USD).
Wanted: Kazuichi Banjou. Reward: 30 million yen (around $222,000 USD).
Wanted: Kotaro Amon. Reward: 600 million yen (around $4.3 million USD).
I also happen to have a Bluetooth earbud on my right ear, as I'm listening to Reliant K's "Who Am I Hates Who I've Been" from my iPhone 6 Plus. I have Milagro on my left hand.
"I talk to absolutely no one." The earbud blared, as I turned my head to see Ui and three other Ghoul Investigators.
"Couldn't keep to myself enough." The earbud blared, as Ui shouted from 20 feet away.
"Come back here, you traitorous son of a bitch!" Ui said, angrily.
"And the things bottled inside have finally begun." The earbud blared as I pulled out a Salt Pepper Spray Gun from my right holster.
"He's got a gun!" Ghoul Investigator #4 shouted, as I fired three orange rounds off the SPSG.
"To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up and…" The earbud blared, as all three rounds hit the Ghoul Investigators behind Ui. All three fall to the ground, furiously rubbing their eyes out from the pepper spray laced orange rounds.
"MY EYES!" Ghoul Investigator #5 shouted, as I sprinted further ahead.
"I heard the reverberating footsteps." The earbud blared, as Ui angrily gritted his teeth, while he speaks through his right earpiece.
"All squads. Gutierrez is carrying a firearm. Shoot to kill." Ui said, as he sees me make another right turn.
"Syncing up to the beating of my heart." The earbud blared, as I spoke.
"¡Fue genial hablar contigo, Ui (It was great talking to you, Ui)!" I said, chuckling as I turn around to see Mutsuki, Aura, and two Oggai.
"Shit." I said, as I gripped Milagro, while the blade sets itself on fire.
"And I was positive that unless I got myself together." The earbud blared, as Aura spoke.
"You owe my Aunt Kiyoko her fucking legs, you son of a bitch!" Aura said, as he activates his right Kakugan. His right arm begins to crystallize into a blue Kokaku blade as he lunges towards me. I turn around and see that Ui is catching up, as he readies his Quinque, Taruhi.
"You're cornered, Isaac." Mutsuki said, mockingly, as I looked at him. I close my eyes, accepting my fate. Suddenly, just as Aura is about to close in on me, he finds his attack blocked by four enormously large yellow petals.
"I would watch me fall apart." The earbud blared.
"What the fuck?!" Aura said, shocked, as I open my eyes to see that Hinami is protecting me with her Kokaku. Hinami's face is covered by her upper half black iron mask. She has her Kakugan activated as she speaks.
"Sorry about that, Isaac!" Hinami said, embarrassed, as Aura falls back 20 feet.
"Don't be, Hinami." I said, as I smiled. I then looked to see where Ui was. I see that he is engaging in battle with Irimi. Irimi's face is covered by her Black Dober mask. She has her Kakugan activated.
"And I can't let that happen again." The earbud blared, as Irimi speaks.
"Sorry. I can't let you kill my boyfriend!" Irimi said, as she scratches Ui's face with her razor-sharp, black polished fingernails.
"AHHH! AGAIN?!" Ui shouted, furious, as he covered his face with his right hand, while blood streams down from the fresh cuts.
"'Cause then you'll see my heart." The earbud blared, as Irimi quickly jumped back to where me and Hinami were at. I then fire another round off SPSG, as the orange round hits Ui in the left shoulder.
"Son of a bitch!" Ui said, as he fell to the ground, while rubbing his eyes.
"In the saddest state it's ever been." The earbud blared.
"Come on, let's go!" Irimi said, as Hinami releases a Rinkaku tentacle and wraps it around my waist.
"¡Ay dios mío (Oh my god)!" I said, nervously.
"Hang on, Isaac! It's gonna be bumpy!" Hinami said, as Irimi summons up her black beetle Ukaku wings, and grabs Hinami and flies us to safety.
"This is no place to try and live my life." The earbud blared, while I clapped my hands towards my pursuers. Ui then pounds his right hand on the ground, in frustration.
"Goddamn it!" Ui said, angrily, as Mutsuki walked towards him.
"We'll get Isaac next time." Mutsuki said, coldly, as Ui sees me, Hinami, and Irimi from far away.
03/17/16, 3:21 PM
Ward 16, Undisclosed Location
Irimi, Hinami, and I enter Irimi's white 2014 Mutsubishi Lancer. We take off our respective blue surgical masks.
Tears are streaming down my face after what I saw half an hour ago as Irimi and Hinami look at me. I then angrily hit the glove compartment three times with my right hand.
"Isaac, just calm down." Hinami said, worried as I looked at her.
"I paid that guy 1 million yen (around $7,300 USD) for his car and phone two weeks ago! I purposely left the phone at my apartment as a message to the CCG that we're coming for them with everything we've got! To see that guy out in the middle of the street, hanging by his neck...30 feet in the air…while his family cried." I said, as I wiped my tears.
"Isaac…there was nothing you could do. All we can do now is keep moving forward." Irimi said, as she kissed my lips.
"That could've been me up there, guys. And Emilia would've…" I said, struggling to finish the sentence.
"Isaac, remember. Everybody at Goat is here to help you and Emilia out. We're gonna get through this." Irimi said, reassuring me.
"You know the ass-clown chief of the CCG put a bounty of 2 billion yen (around $15.7 million USD) on my daughter's head?" I said, as I sighed.
"And then there's Asami. 2.5 billion yen (around $18.4 million USD)? Is that a fucking joke?" I said, upset.
"Like we said Isaac. We're gonna get through this. We just need to keep it together for a little while longer." Hinami said, calmly.
"Until we get the CCG to see our ways, that you guys aren't harmful. Just misunderstood beings." I said, as Irimi turned on the car and drove us back to Aokigahara.

"I mean, this place is immaculate. The scraps of the building materials our descendants used. We're just guests, considering that the true Ghouls of Ward 24 have gone deeper underground." Tsukiyama said, as he and Kou walked around the junkyard like city that they're in while passing by numerous Ghouls.
"It's like Adam and Eve, driven from punishment after Eve bit into the Fruit of Knowledge. We're planning a revolution just like them. But for now…" Tsukiyama said, as he and Kou hear murmurings from the Ghouls around them.
"He's here! The King's back!" Ghoul #2 shouted, as Kou had a curious look on his face.
"The King?" Kou said, curious.
"That's right. The last ray of hope for our kind." Tsukiyama said, as numerous Ghouls from all over the city start to shout 'King!' at the top of their lungs. Kou then sees something hit the crane from over 100 feet away. It's a dark hooded figure, but Kou can't see who it is. The hooded figure then lowers his hood, revealing himself to be Kaneki. Kaneki is wearing a black hooded robe over a thick black bodysuit with thin cutouts on his arms and legs, black BDSM mask, and Black Puma sneakers. Kaneki has his left Kakugan activated. The crowd of Ghouls cheer loudly, as Kou looked on in awe.
"Is that…?" Kou said, as Tsukiyama smiled.
"That's right. Our King." Tsukiyama said.
Ken Kaneki…Kou thought, awestruck.
Kaneki then looks at the numerous wide pipes that were scattered above the junkyard like city and raised his right hand. Everyone on the ground then sees numerous Ghouls at the pipes toss down numerous Quinques, as Kou looked on.
Are those Quinques? Kou thought, shocked, as the Quinques land on the ground, while Kaneki spoke.
"We have disarmed over 1500 Doves in our attacks across the 23 Wards. WE will not live in this hole for much longer. WE WILL not have to clutch our thin ribcages any longer. The Doves can't find us if we remain underground. Have faith in us. OUR day will come. I won't stop until ALL of you are able to have the right to return to the surface again." Kaneki said, as the crowd cheered his name, while Kou looked at Kaneki.
03/17/16, 11:04 PM
Ward 24, Section F245
Kaneki is showering, as Tsukiyama stood outside the shower.
"We only have 2 months of food reserves left. We need to find ways to feed ourselves properly, before resorting to Aokigahara. And who knows if the CCG will go there and take those reserves away." Kaneki said, as Tsukiyama grabbed a blue towel.
"They have to be stopped, before they bury us alive here." Kaneki said, calmly, as Tsukiyama chuckled.
"More like killed. You should be showering us with their decapitated heads, not their Quinques. Don't show sympathy to them." Tsukiyama said, calmly, as Kaneki turned the faucet off.
"I'm just worried that there will be a war again, even if we beat the Doves. Toss me the towel?" Kaneki said, as Tsukiyama complied. Kaneki dries his naked body off before wrapping himself up in the towel.
"Isaac specifically stated that the Goat can't kill humans. We want to make sure that Ghouls can live on the surface again. That's where you come in, Tsukiyama." Kaneki said, as Tsukiyama chuckled.
"Oui, my king. But you need to remember that the no-kill policy has forced you two to get creative with how to handle the Doves." Tsukiyama said, calmly.
"It's hard to believe that you two have grown to care for us over the years." Tsukiyama said, as Kaneki looked at the wedding ring around his neck that Touka gave him.

Nishio is wearing a red sweater, blue jeans, brown rim glasses, and black Vans. He's got a blue backpack with him, as he walks towards Touka, Yuki, Yuji, and Makita. Touka is wearing a green jacket over a white flannel shirt, blue skirt (knee length), blue leggings, and blue Converse. Yuki is wearing a white hoodie, blue pants, and red Reebok's. Makita is wearing a purple jacket over a yellow sweater, blue pants, and red Skechers. Yuji is wearing a blue jacket over a green sweater, black pants, and brown Nike's.
"Hey, guys." Nishio said, as the four of them look at him, while Nishio pulls out some severed limbs.
"Lunch!" Yuji said, as Nishio tossed the limbs over to the kids, while pulling a lunchbag that had the logo 'Shake Shack' on it and handed it to Touka.
"I couldn't decide which one you wanted. So, don't complain to me if it's not to your liking." Nishio said, as Touka looked inside the bag to see a wrapped Shakeshack burger.

"Operation Cabra Negra (Black Goat)?" Juuzou said, confused, as he stood 10 feet away from Furuta. Juuzou is wearing a buttoned-up black t-shirt, black pants with red/yellow suspenders, and pink slippers. Furuta is wearing a black uniform, black pants, black leather belt, red leather gloves, and black Perry Ellis sneakers.
"Black Goat in Spanish. Your S3 squad and the Oggai will take part in it. The best of the best. My concerns are that of The One-Eyed King and Mr. Gutierrez finding out about our plans. That of the complete eradication of the Ghouls occupying their hideout at Ward 24." Furuta said, as Juuzou yawned.
"A pain in the ass, don't you think?" Juuzou said, bored, as Furuta placed his elbows on the desk and perched his chin on his hands.
"Perhaps this will motivate you, SCI Suzuya. Do you know how the yearly expenses of our countermeasures?" Furuta said, as Juuzou pondered the question.
"2 trillion yen (around $14.8 billion USD) at best, according to the files I looked at from our 2015 archives. It's been increasing each year by 2-3% since the Aogiri Tree stretched our sources thin. After their annihilation, we thought it was over. But Goat proved otherwise. If the organization that the traitorous Mr. Gutierrez is involved with continues to raise their activity levels, the financial situation in this country will begin to affect the livelihood of our citizens. Take for instance, the medical expense budget for the wounded members of CCG. If the Goat's reign of terror continues, we'll have to siphon out some of the budget from the medical expenses to combat the Goat." Furuta said, as Juuzou's eyes widen in alarm.
"I'm aware that you and Mr. Gutierrez were proteges of SCI Yukinori Shinohara, correct?" Furuta said, as Juuzou gulped, while Furuta places the set of brown files that he had on him on the desk.
"I'm giving you about 4.5 billion reasons why you must save your mentor." Furuta said, as he had a neutral expression on his face.

"Hanbeh. Get everybody over here. I want to brief you guys on our next operation." Juuzou said, calmly as he looked at Hanbeh. Hanbeh is wearing a black trench coat, black pants, and black leather shoes.
"Is something wrong, sir?" Hanbeh said, wondering.
"No, it's just that the Chief new's policies lately have driven Goat into a corner. If we take them out, the 100+ year battle between CCG and Ghouls might come to an end in Japan." Juuzou said, as he placed his back against a window.
"So why are you so gloom?" Hanbeh said, curious.
"My mentor, SCI Shinohara, said that this fight will never end, even if we're still alive and all that we can do is prevent them from flourishing. I just…don't know what to say." Juuzou said, as he sighed.
"Don't push yourself, Suzuya." Hanbeh said, as Juuzou chuckled.
"I don't even know what pain is. You should know this, Hanbeh." Juuzou said.
"I mean, I do. But you're only human. Where are you going with all this?" Hanbeh said, as Juuzou pulled out some papers to give to Hanbeh. The first page is that of wanted profiles for the members of Goat, along with photos of the members in question. On them are:
Wanted: Kurona Yasuhisa. Reward: 500 million yen (around $3.7 million USD).
Wanted: Kaya Irimi. Reward: 600 million yen (around $4.4 million USD).
Wanted: Hinami Fueguchi. Reward: 650 million yen (around $4.8 million USD).
Wanted: Ayato Kirishima. Reward: 700 million yen (around $5.2 million USD).
Wanted: Isaac Gutierrez. Reward: 1 billion yen (around $7.8 million USD).
Wanted: Emilia Gutierrez. Reward: 2 billion yen (around $15.7 million USD).
Wanted: Asami Gutierrez. Reward: 2.5 billion yen (around $18.4 million USD).
"Gutierrez's daughters?" Hanbeh said, shocked.
"The chief personally asked me to eradicate Isaac's daughters. I mean, just an hour ago, the chief said that budgets cuts are coming up soon. And they'll be siphoning up the budget for medical expenses over to countermeasures. I don't want to lose Shinohara but considering what Isaac did over the last 4 years, I just…." Juuzou said, as he struggled to finish the sentence.
"But Emilia and Asami are just kids." Hanbeh said, somberly.
"I know that. But to think that Isaac is friends with The Black Rabbit, The Black Dog, Yotsume, and Kurona. And that his daughters were conceived between him and the One-Eyed Owl…Who knows how many more connections Isaac has in the Ghoul community? His connections are much deeper than Big Madame's." Juuzou said, somberly.
"Look, I'm sure all will be fine if Gutierrez were to explain his actions in person." Hanbeh said, as Juuzou got up from the wall and walked away.
"Isaac orchestrated the 3rd Cochlea Prison Raid, killed the 3rd Chairman, rigged the signals for Operation Dramma Giacoso, and sent that decapitated head to the Chief's office. Who knows what else he's done?" Juuzou said, as Nakarai, Tamaki, and Mikage arrived to see Juuzou and Hanbeh talk. Nakarai is wearing a black trench coat, black jeans, and black Converse. Tamaki is wearing a black trench coat, black pants, black leather belt, and red Champion's. Mikage is wearing a black trench coat, black pants, and purple Skechers.
"What's up?" Nakarai said, as Juuzou handed his team the information of their upcoming operation.
"Operation Cabra Negra (Black Goat)?" Tamaki said, confused.
"Black Goat." Hanbeh said, clarifying, as the team looks at the photos of Emilia and Asami.
"Toddlers?" Mikage said, flustered.
"The offspring of Isaac and the One-Eyed Owl." Juuzou said, as he sighed.
"Guys. If we're putting down infants, then what the hell are we fighting for?" Nakarai said, as he looks at Emilia and Asami's photos again.
"Juuzou's still hoping that SCI Shinohara will recover. But will the money even be enough?" Nakarai said, undecided, as he looks at the dossier report for Operation Cabra Negra.

Uta is wearing a black hoodie, black jeans, black leather belt, and black Wolverine boots. He also has black nail polish on his fingernails. Itori is wearing a pink corset dress and open toed pink heels. She has red nail polish on her fingernails and toenails, along with red lipstick on her lips. Nico is wearing a purple jacket over a blue v-shirt, white pants, and white boots.
"Well, Itori…anything?" Uta said, wondering, as he looked at Itori.
"Don't underestimate my connections, babe. They told me that Goat is at Ward 24." Itori said, with a sly smile on her face.
"You serious? You mean the one near the Sea of Trees?" Uta said, curious.
"Roma checked. She's not lying." Nico said, sighing.
"Is everybody gonna be wiped out there?" Uta said, wondering, as Itori giggled.
"Beats me, but we'll have front row seats as we watch Isaac and Kaneki descend from the sky, like Icarus. Who wouldn't want to see their chances of saving all Ghoulkind go up in smoke?" Itori said, as she caressed Uta's left cheek with her right hand.
"You're probably right." Uta said, calmly, as they see Furuta enter the room.
"You seem to enjoy playing with fire, huh, Chief?" Nico said, as Furuta smiled.
"What can I say? The Washu Family were careless in holding their cards close to the chest. But now that game has come to an end." Furuta said, calmly, as Nico walked towards him.
"Your Dragon, I presume?" Nico said, wondering.
"Yes. A Dragon so destructive that it'll make those peacekeeping idiots regret ever crossing me." Furuta said, as he squeezed his right hand tightly.
"Which one, for Kaneki, Isaac, and their army of Ghouls or for the CCG?" Uta said, as Furuta smiled.
"As I said, the Dragon is an ally of mine." Furuta said, as his eyes narrowed in delight.

"Come on, Ayato. We're almost out of food." Ghoul #3 said, worried, as Ayato and the rest of his Ghoul expedition team continued to walk. Ayato is wearing a purple jacket over a purple sweater, purple jeans, black leather belt, and brown Wolverine boots.
"I'm aware. But I can feel a breeze just now…" Ayato said, as he ran ahead of the group.
"Ayato, wait!" Ghoul #4 said, as Ayato stops running after 200 feet. Ayato is huffing and puffing as he drops to his knees upon seeing the massive city that lay in front of him. His Ghoul expedition team then begins to walk down to the city, as he got up.
So, this is the deepest level of Ward 24, huh? Ayato thought, calmly, as Ghoul #4 spoke.
"Ayato! We found signs that people were here!" Ghoul #4 said, loudly, as Ayato looked confused.
Then how come I'm not detecting their presence? Ayato thought, wondering.
"All right, everyone. Let's keep looking." Ayato said, as he climbed down.
03/25/16, 2:34 PM
Ward 24, Section F413
Ayato walks out of the building he was exploring and lets out a sigh.
"Not a Ghoul in sight." Ayato said, as he detects a change in the wind.
"I know you're there." Ayato said, as he activates his Kakugan, and ducks from the Female Ghoul Child's Rinkaku attack (two spiny blue tentacles). The FGC is 4'6, has pink hair (shoulder length), and blue eyes. She's wearing a black hooded robe over a pink sweater, blue jeans, and white Reebok's. Ayato then backflips and looks at the FGC, who lands on the ground, while activating her Kakugan.
"You're supposed to form your Kagune in an instant." Ayato said, as he summoned his vermillion Ukaku wings before firing multiple red projectiles at the FGC. The projectiles hit the FGC, as she falls to the ground.
"AGH!" The FGC said, as Ayato detects a Male Ghoul Child on his left. The MGC is 4'10, has brown hair (bowl cut), and red eyes. He's wearing a black hooded robe over a light blue sweater, brown pants, and white socks. He activates his Kakugan and summons his Kokaku (a thick, crystallized yellow blade) and attempts to strike Ayato with it. Ayato counters by kicking it with his right foot, sending the MGC flying back 20 feet across.
"Too thick to cut anything." Ayato said, as he then crystallizes his right arm into a red blade and catches the hood of FGC #2. FGC #2 is wearing a red hooded robe over a yellow sweater, blue pants, and pink socks. FGC #2 lets out a loud gasp upon seeing the situation.
"Enough playtime." Ayato said, annoyed.
03/25/16, 2:49 PM
Ward 24, Section F413
"All right, start talking." Ayato said, annoyed.
"Ef gun eat, eat as soon inmedi!" FGC #2 said, frustrated.
"C'mon! Toddle, toddle, boi! Balls crusd?!" MGC said, annoyed, as FGC #1 gritted her teeth.
Crap. Underground Dialect. Touka's a pro at that, Ayato thought, as he spoke.
"Relax, we won't hurt you. We just want to ask you a few questions. Simple as that." Ayato said, calmly, as the three Ghoul children looked at him.
"Mako?!" FGC #2 said, shocked.
"No eat?!" MGC said, floored.
"Mako no eat?!" FGC #1 said, confused.
They're afraid of being eaten? Is that what 'Mako' is? Ayato thought, as he spoke.
"What's 'Mako'?" Ayato said, confused, as the three Ghoul children looked at him with blank expressions.
"Are you inhabitants of Ward 24?" Ayato said, wondering.
"Wut's a Ghoul?" FGC #2 said, confused, as Ayato slapped his forehead with his right hand.
"You guys were using your Kagunes earlier. You're just like us." Ayato said, annoyed.
"Tawk so much trab." MGC said, bitterly.
"Yagune? Tsumimusha?" FGC #1 said, confused.
"This…is…Tokyo…We humans." MGC said, as Ayato had a floored look on his face.
"Hold on a sec. Tokyo? You guys are humans? Okay. Okay. Start from the beginning. How the hell did this happen?" Ayato said, as FGC #2 then points out with her right index finger a giant figure that was in the middle of the city.
"Nagaraj brok all." FGC #2 said, calmly, as Ayato looked at the giant figure.
03/25/16, 3:04 PM
Ward 24, Section F245
Kou is wearing a black sweater, black beanie hat, blue jeans, and blue Nike's. He's at the abandoned bus, typing like crazy. A series of messages appear in front of the computer screens, as he then pulls out the USB drive from the desktop using his right hand.
"Gotcha." Kou said, as he suddenly finds his right hand grabbed by a larger right hand.
"Kou…you naughty little devil. You can't be accessing the internet without my permission." Tsukiyama said, as a cautious smile emerged from his face. Tsukiyama is wearing a purple sweater, white jeans, black leather belt, and brown Johnston & Murphy leather shoes.
"Sorry…I wanted to download the Season 6 finale of The Walking Dead." Kou said, faking sadness, as he handed the USB back to Tsukiyama, and proceeded to walk away. A few seconds go by as Tsukiyama then activates his Kakugan and summons up his purple spring like Kokaku blade and plunges it at the wall, about 3 inches away from Kou's face.
"You imbecile. The Walking Dead Season 6 finale isn't until next Sunday. I can give a preview if you like. Heh. Heh." Tsukiyama said, as he then pulls his Kokaku blade from the wall, as Kou jumps back 5 feet and lands on all fours. Tsukiyama then lunges towards Kou and plunges his Kokaku blade into Kou's left leg. Kou grits his teeth, as Tsukiyama speaks.
"I'm not as NICE as the King or his right-hand man. Who are you really?" Tsukiyama said, as a smile emerged from Kou's face. Kou then activates his right Kakugan, as Tsukiyama looks at him in shock.
Shit, an Oggai! Tsukiyama thought, as Kou quickly summoned a red scaly Rinkaku tentacle from his left hip and lunges it at Tsukiyama's blade, causing Tsukiyama to pull his blade out of Kou's left leg.
"Frame B." Kou said, laughing, as Kou summoned up two Rinkaku tentacles while activating his left Kakugan. He then uses his tentacles to grab Tsukiyama's legs and throws him out of the bus. His tentacles wriggle around as he speaks.
"Die, you fucking Ghoul!" Kou said, laughing, as he then finds himself surrounded by Hirako, Shio, Yusa, and Rikai. Hirako is wearing a white trench coat over a black work shirt, black pants, black leather belt, and black Kenneth Cole boots. Shio is wearing a blue flannel shirt, white pants, and white Converse. Yusa is wearing a black flannel shirt, black jeans, and orange Vans. Rikai is wearing a green flannel shirt, brown pants, and purple Nike's. All 4 each have their respective Quinques (Hirako: Nagomi 1/3, Shio: IXA, Yusa: Yukimura 1/3, and Rikai: Yukimura 2/3) near Kou's throat, as Kou lets out an annoyed sigh.
"All right, I give." Kou said, as he raised his hands up.
"The traitorous Squad Zero." Kou said, calmly.
"State your business or that head of yours is coming clean off." Hirako said, stoically, as a smile emerged from Kou's face.
"To kill." Kou said, calmly.
"Give it up, Hajime. You passed the Q's Aptitude Test, huh?" Shio said, wondering, as Hajime looked at him.
"I'm not like those freaks. I'm an Oggai. The third-gen class. Get your facts straight." Hajime said, mockingly.
"I have something that Ken Kaneki and the traitorous Isaac Gutierrez would like to see." Hajime said, calmly, as Hirako had a curious look on his face.
03/25/16, 5:01 PM
Ward 24, Section F245
"We locked him up…" Shio said, as Kaneki and I looked at him, while a shirtless Tsukiyama puts on a green t-shirt. I'm wearing a blue hoodie, black jeans, black leather belt, and black Converse. Kaneki is wearing a black sweater, white jeans, and black Puma sneakers. Kaneki and I are on the couch, while sat on the bed.
"Damn, so macho." Rikai said, as they saw Tsukiyama's sculpted 6-pack.
"Guys. Who the hell is the kid that's locked up?" Kaneki said, wiping the sweat off his face with his left forearm.
"His name is Hajime Hazuki." Shio said, as my eyes widen in alarm.
"De ninguna maldita manera (No fucking way)..." I said, in shock, as Kaneki looked at me.
"Isaac, you know him?" Kaneki said, wondering.
Rank 1 Investigator Hajime Hazuki. I met him on 11/07/11 at Ward 20's CCG Branch Office. Amon and I were investigating Hinami's case when we saw Hajime, back then an innocent 8-year-old boy, be brought to the CCG for just a few seconds. I then got to know him more on 06/27/12, when Akira asked me to look after the children who were visiting the Ward 20 CCG Branch Office.
I saw Hajime drawing teeth that day. I asked him about it, and he told me that his parents were orthodontists. His parents were murdered by Ghouls on 11/05/11 in an impromptu invasion. His parents got closed casket funerals, on account of their bodies and faces being destroyed beyond recognition. I made Hajime a promise that the CCG would help him find the Ghouls that killed his folks. That was before I agreed to become Eto's inside man and forgot all about Hajime…until now.
03/25/16, 5:02 PM
Ward 24, Section F245
"Are you serious?" Kaneki said, floored, as I had an awkward look on my face.
"He trained at the First Junior Academy on Ward 3. Fast reflexes, perfect 20/20 vision, and he took part in some special exercises with Squad Zero." Yusa said, calmly.
"Your typical Academy student who's hellbent on revenge against Ghouls." Rikai said, calmly.
"Although this kid is different, considering that his revenge is stronger than any other student that's been at all 7 Academies." Shio said, calmly.
"Were there any other Oggai with him?" I said, cautious.
"Just him. The White Suits ran into him while he was being chased by investigators. It's most likely that he went undercover as a Ghoul to get closer to Goat." Hirako said, calmly.
Obviously Furuta sent him, Kaneki thought, somberly, as I spoke.
"You guys said he wanted to give us something." I said, as Hirako pulled out a sealed white envelope.
"Oh wow. An invitation to a birthday party?" I said, sarcastically, as I opened the letter. I look at it, chuckling. With each passing second, my expression goes hilarious to horrified, as I finished reading the letter.
"¿Es esto una maldita broma (Is this a fucking joke)?" I said, worried, as I looked at the second and third paper. The second paper made me gulp nervously. The third paper made my face turn pale white.
"No. No. No! No! NO! NO!" I said, as I let go of the letter, got up and ran out of the room, as everyone looked on.
"Isaac?" Kaneki said, as he looked at the letter. His eyes widen in shock upon seeing the contents. It read:
To Sensei,
On March 10th, 2016, Yoriko Kuroiwa was arrested for violating Article 119. She happens to be Touka Kirishima's former classmate and best friend. It's a lot to process, so I included a few additional notes inside, including her statement and her verdict.
With these, you'll understand how bleak her situation is and that this envelope isn't a joke. You're wondering why I sent you this letter. Simple. I'm giving you two options. Option 1: If you're planning something, I'll help you. Or Option 2: A trade-off. You hand over Isaac and his daughters so that Yoriko goes free.
I'm still confused over why you chose the Ghouls the other day, but I still hold respect for you. I'm willing to fight for you. But I will NEVER forgive Isaac for the pain and suffering he caused me while I was held hostage at Rushima.
So I thought to myself, the person that's most important to your significant other must be important to you as well.
I will be waiting at The Chateau until 9 PM every night from March 29th to April 5th. If you want to know how serious this situation is, sending this letter to you would have resulted in me being executed. You must believe me.
-Tooru Mutsuki
"Fuck." Kaneki said, in shock, as he looked at the paper that contained Yoriko's statement. It read:
Commission of Counter Ghoul Statement Report
On March 10th, 2016, when asked about her ties to Touka Kirishima and her associates, Yoriko Kuroiwa's response was: 'I didn't know'.
Kaneki then looks at the paper that contained Yoriko's verdict. Kaneki's heart dropped like a stone. It read:
Commission of Counter Ghoul Sp. A No. 712
Upon further examination of the written statement submitted on March 23rd, 2016, and in accordance with Countermeasure Law, Yoriko Kuroiwa has been sentenced to death by order of this court. The execution will be carried out on April 7th, 2016, at 10:00 PM.
Commission of Counter Ghoul
Bureau Chief Kichimura Washu
Kaneki immediately rips the first letter to shreds before looking at Hirako and Tsukiyama.
"It's a trap. Make sure Hajime does not leave the cell at all costs." Kaneki said, sternly, as Hirako and Tsukiyama nod their heads in agreement.

5 miles outside Aokigahara, Undisclosed Location
I pull out my iPhone 6 Plus from my front left pocket and look at the contacts list.
"Who do I call?!" I said, frantic, as I scrolled through.
Mutsuki?! Hell fucking no! Urie?! No. He probably knows Eto killed his old man by now. Juuzou? No! He knows that Eto was the one who put Shinohara in a coma! Kuramoto? No…Noro killed 3 of his teammates. COME ON! THINK! THINK! THINK! I thought, desperate, as I then looked at Saiko's name. I immediately dial Saiko's number and wait a few seconds. The call goes through.
"Isaac, is that you?" Saiko said, surprised.
"SAIKO! I just got a letter saying that Yoriko is going to be executed 2 weeks from now! You need to tell me that it's a joke!" I said, scared, as I wait a few seconds.
"It's not a joke." Saiko said, depressed, as I hear Touma's voice on the phone.
"Is that Isaac?" Touma said, curious.
"Hey, who else is there?" I said, wondering.
"Touma and Hsiao are with me." Saiko said, as my phone then receives a requested FaceTime session. I accept. I'm seeing Saiko, Hsiao, and Touma. Saiko is wearing an orange t-shirt, blue shorts, and white slippers. Hsiao is wearing a sleeveless gray shirt, pink shorts, and white flip flops. Touma is wearing a black work shirt, black pants, black leather belt, and red socks.
"Isaac. Are you really working with Maman?" Saiko said, worried, as I had a guilty look on my face.
"Yes. I am Mothman." I said, depressed, as Saiko, Hsiao, and Touma looked at me in shock.
"Please, you need to tell me what the hell is going on with Yoriko." I said, worried.

"You wanted to see me, sir?" Takeomi said, puzzled, as he stood 10 feet away from Furuta. Furuta is wearing a black uniform, black pants, black leather belt, black leather shoes, and red gloves. Takeomi is wearing a black suit over a white work shirt, black tie, black pants, and black leather shoes.
"Yes, Rank 1 Investigator Takeomi Kuroiwa. The achievements you've made over the years are quite impressive. At this rate, you'll be an SCI at age 26. Your father would be proud." Furuta said, as he put his hands together.
"But I need to ask you something first. Tell me Ghoul Countermeasure Law Article 88, Clause 1, word for word." Furuta said, calmly.
"Those who help or provide safe harbor to Ghouls will be subjected to severe punishment." Takeomi said, calmly.
"Correct!" Furuta said, happily, as he got up from his desk, and walked towards Takeomi.
"Keep that in mind. I need you to come with me." Furuta said, as they walked out of the room.
03/10/16, 8:45 PM
Ward 1, CCG HQ, 3rd Floor, Interrogation Room
Furuta and Kuroiwa find themselves walking near the window of the interrogation room, as Kuroiwa looks inside. His eyes widen in alarm upon seeing Yoriko sitting at the metallic table, as Mutsuki and Aura stood next to her. Yoriko is wearing a blue sweater, black skirt (knee length), and blue heels. Mutsuki is wearing a white trench coat, white pants, black leather belt, black leather eyepatch, and white Reebok's. Aura's wearing a white trench coat, white pants, white leather belt, and white K-Swiss shoes.
Kuroiwa enters the room, as Yoriko looks at him, in tears.
"Takeomi…" Yoriko said, tearfully, as Kuroiwa looked at Mutsuki and Aura.
"What the hell's going on? Why's my wife being interrogated?" Takeomi said, in a demanding tone. Mutsuki laughs in response.
"Your wife was being very cunty about her ties to Goat." Mutsuki said, mockingly, as Takeomi's eyes widen in anger.
"What did you just say?!" Takeomi said, angrily, as he raised his right fist, only to be punched in the face by Aura. Takeomi falls to his knees as Mutsuki laughed hysterically.

"Assclown CAN'T legally do that! Yoriko wasn't aware that her best friend was a Ghoul!" I said, in protest.
"We can't argue with the Bureau Chief about this." Saiko said, upset.
"You guys NEED to get Mutsuki to recant his statement IMMEDIATELY!" I said, scared.
"We can't! Mutsi won't listen to us anymore!" Saiko said, as I had an upset look on my face.
"Fuck! Mutsuki's gone off the rails!" I said, frustrated, as I then hear Urie's voice.
"Guys, who the hell are you—" Urie said, as I see him on the phone. Urie is wearing a black work shirt, black pants, brown leather belt, and white socks.
"Give me that phone, Saiko!" Urie said, angrily, as he takes the phone and abruptly ends the call.
"Urie, don't—" Saiko said, in protest, as the phone call ended.
"¡JODER (FUCK)!" I shouted, angrily.

Ward 1, The Chateau
"Urie, what the fuck?!" Saiko said, angrily, as Urie looked at him.
"I don't want any of you talking to Isaac ever again." Urie said, sternly, as Saiko looked at him, frustrated.
"What crawled up your ass, Urie?" Saiko said, angrily.
"His wife murdered my father!" Urie said, coldly, as Saiko, Hsiao, and Touma looked at him, in shock.
"Wait, really?" Saiko said, surprised, as Urie narrowed his eyes.
"Yes. He lied to all of us. I'm with Mutsuki on this decision to hunt down Isaac." Urie said, coldy, as Saiko gritted her teeth.
"Fine, don't forgive Isaac! But you know damn well that Yoriko is innocent. She bakes good bread, and she's one of my closest friends." Saiko said, pleading.
"Urie, you can't just…" Saiko said, as Urie spoke.
"Even I forgave Isaac, the situation won't change shit. The Chief made his decision, and we must follow it." Urie said, calmly.
"AND YOU'RE OKAY WITH THIS!?" Saiko shouted, angrily.
"Even if you talk to Mutsuki, it won't change a thing." Urie said, calmly, as rage boiled inside Saiko. Saiko then walks towards Urie and proceeds to kick Urie in the testicles, hard.
"Guuuuuh!" Urie said, as he collapsed to his knees.
"Pussy!" Saiko said, angrily.
"What is wrong with you?! Do you want to see Takeomi suffer?!" Saiko said, as tears streamed down Saiko's face, while Urie cupped his testicles.
"No…I don't…" Urie said, wheezing.

Number of Days Sober: 80
Number of People I've Made Amends With: 15
"We have your son in custody on the 8th Floor. He assaulted an SCI. And the allegations against his wife are more than enough to possibly end his career here. I know that they just got married, but I can't let this slide, SCI Kuroiwa. I need you to understand how this situation will affect your family." Furuta said, calmly, as he looked at Kuroiwa from 10 feet away.
Furuta is wearing a black suit over a white work shirt, black bow tie, black leather gloves, black pants, and black leather shoes. Kuroiwa is wearing a black suit over a white flannel shirt, gray tie, black pants, black leather belt, and black leather shoes. Kuroiwa has a stern but worried look on his face.

Ward 1, CCG HQ, 8th Floor, Detainment Room
Takeomi is wearing a white work shirt, black pants, black leather belt, and black leather shoes. He's sitting on a metal frame bed, as he hears the door open. He looks to see Urie enter the room. Urie is wearing a purple suit over a white work shirt, purple pants, black leather belt, and black Cole Doc Martens' leather shoes.
"Urie." Takeomi said, calmly.
"I heard you struck Mutsuki." Urie said, calmly, as Takeomi looked upset.
"I'm sorry." Takeomi said, as Urie looked at him, surprised.
"Why say sorry to me?" Urie said, confused.
"Mutsuki said some very disrespectful things to my wife. I couldn't let it slide." Takeomi said, calmly, as Urie looked at Takeomi's sleepless eyes.
It's not like you, Takeomi…Urie thought, as he spoke.
"This isn't the time for inner turmoil." Urie said, calmly.
"Urie. Yoriko isn't smart enough to hold something like that from me. She didn't know her best friend was a Ghoul." Takeomi said, concerned.
"I can see that." Urie said, concerned, as Takeomi looked down on the ground.
"Mutsuki's statement was falsified. I don't know why. But the Chief's decision to change Yoriko's violation from Article 88 to Article 119 is suspicious. It's like he wants to make an example out of my wife." Takeomi said, worried.

Ward 1, The Chateau, Living Room
"I'm done with this! I'm going to find Isaac and be a terrorist just like him!" Saiko said, angrily, as Urie's eyes widen in alarm.
"Do you even know what's coming out of your mouth, Yonebayashi?" Urie said, as he tried to get up.
"YES!" Saiko screamed, angrily, as Urie looked taken aback.
"I'm not gonna be a part of an organization that murders people like Yoriko and Takeomi!" Saiko said, tearfully, as she walked to the backyard.
"Urie…" Touma said, worried.
"I got this…" Urie said, as he walked to the backyard. He sees Saiko on the swing set, sniffling.
"Yonebayashi…" Urie said, calmly.
"You're right, Urie. You have every right not to forgive Isaac. There's not much to say about Yoriko and Takeomi as well. I'm sorry." Saiko said, somberly.
"You're right about one thing. The CCG has gone off the rails. I don't like hearing the fact that the CCG has become a murderous organization as well. We lost our main reason as to why we started fighting in the first place." Urie said, as he sat on the empty swing next to Saiko.
"I wouldn't mind speaking out, because I don't want to be labelled a criminal when history looks back at this country. We'll think of a way." Urie said, calmly, as Saiko looked at him.
"There is. We received a package from an anonymous sender a few days ago." Saiko said, as Urie had a surprised look on his face.
03/25/16, 8:23 PM
Ward 1, The Chateau, 2nd Floor, Saiko's Room
Urie opens the 12 X 12 package to see two notebooks, a blue and a green journal. He flips through the contents of both journals.
"CCG History, Washu, Dr. Kano, Ghouls…" Urie said, as he then sees a note at the end of the green journal. It read:
I know you'll never forgive me. Consider this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become an SCI my way of making amends.
-Isaac
Chapter 136 complete.
Author's Notes:
This was an adaptation of Chapters 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 139, 143, and 148 of TG: re, and Season 4, Episode 7 of the anime version.
Hide, Ui, Isaac, Urie, Saiko, Furuta, Ayato, and Mutsuki take center stage for Chapter 136.
Note: Otra Vez is Spanish for 'Again'.
Hide makes his return (even if it was brief), as he explains to Isaac the details about what Furuta could be planning, while his survival from having his face torn off by Kaneki is explained in a flashback sequence.
Meanwhile, Ui and Isaac have a brief confrontation with one another as Isaac attempts to get through to Ui and his questionable haircut. Later, Isaac discovers that Yoriko is going to be killed by Furuta, as Furuta begins to corrupt every investigator out there, such as Juuzou and his entire squad, while he plans his endgame.
After an awkward situation with Isaac, Saiko and Urie have an emotional chat with one another, as Urie looks back at the day he visited Takeomi following his 'scuffle' with Mutsuki. Speaking of which, Mutsuki has officially reached Yandere mode, as he attempts to get Kaneki to give up Isaac and his family so that Yoriko can go free (Mutsuki also gets the post-credit scene).
And finally, Ayato's trek down to the deepest levels of Ward 24 brings shocking revelations.
Onward to Chapter 137. Kaneki and Touka's wedding. For now, post-credit scene.
Post-Credit Scene:
02/14/15, 3:26 PM
Ward 1, The Chateau, 2nd Floor, Mutsuki's Room
Mutsuki and I are in his bed, The both of us are naked, with only the sheets covering our bodies. I have brown Ivy League hair. Mutsuki has dark green hair (mid-length bob cut) with black fringe tips.
"Shirazu can't know about this." I said, cringing.
"Agreed." Mutsuki said, calmly.
"Because…I actually want to experience oral." Mutsuki said, as my eyes widen in surprise.
"Uh…" I said, awkwardly, as Mutsuki giggled.
"I…I…I…" I said, as my cheeks turn pink.
"Like I said, Isaac. It's just us for another 90 minutes. Nobody's gonna hear anything but us." Mutsuki said, as he cupped my left cheek with his right hand.
"Very well." I said, calmly, as I kissed his right hand. Mutsuki then looks at me as he kisses my lips. I then proceed to kiss his neck and softly kiss his nipples. Mutsuki moans quietly as I sensually lick his right nipple, while Mutsuki stroked his vagina with his left hand. I then proceed to kiss the scars on his pectoral muscles. Mutsuki then wraps his arms around my head, as tears streamed down his face, as if his scars had magically disappeared. I then proceed to kiss his stomach and then finally reach down to his vagina. I gulp nervously, as Mutsuki spoke.
"It's okay. You can go ahead." Mutsuki said, calmly, as I licked my lips. I then proceed to softly lick Mutsuki's vagina with my tongue. Mutsuki lets out a moderate gasp, as he grips the bed sheets. I then look up at him.
"You want me to stop?" I said, wondering.
"You're fine. Now stick it in deeper." Mutsuki said, desperate, as I complied. I begin to insert my tongue deeper into his vagina, as my lips touch his entrance. Mutsuki moans loudly, as he spoke.
"Keep going, keep going!" Mutsuki said, with determination, as he stroked his nipples while I gently touched his smooth upper thighs. Mutsuki pants loudly, as I then stick my right index finger and right middle finger into his vagina.
"AHHHH!" Mutsuki shouted, in joy, as his juices then flowed into my mouth the moment my tongue touched the upper left side of his clitoris. I swallow the juices whole, as Mutsuki spoke.
"Oh, Daddy!" Mutsuki said, excitedly, as my eyes widen in alarm. I then get sit up and look at Mutsuki.
"What's wrong?" Mutsuki said, worried.
"Didn't you say you're trying overcome your shitty past?" I said, as Mutsuki let out a somber sigh.
"Sorry. Look, it was just…" Mutsuki said, as I stroked his green hair
"It's okay. But please, don't go calling me 'Daddy' again. Please?" I said, awkwardly, as Mutsuki chuckled.
"All right. I promise." Mutsuki said, as a small smile emerged from his face. Down underneath the bed, Shirazu's eyes widen in shock, as he heard EVERYTHING that occurred. Shirazu is wearing a blue t-shirt, purple socks, and yellow socks.
What the fuck!? Shirazu thought, flabbergasted.

Ward 13, Shibuya Crossing
"The Bureau Chief is putting more force into suppressing the Ghoul community." Aura said, calmly, as he and Mutsuki walked across the Shibuya Crossing. Mutsuki is wearing a white trench coat, white pants, black leather belt, black leather eyepatch, and white Reebok's. Aura's wearing a white trench coat, white pants, white leather belt, and white K-Swiss shoes.
"He's increasing the penalty for people who are aiding and abetting Ghouls by eradicating Article 88 completely. In short, Ghoul sympathizers will be treated as Ghouls." Mutsuki said, calmly.
"The government is against this, but if we wait for them to speak up about their complaints, we'll never achieve proper displacement." Aura said, as he sees me, Emilia, and Asami's faces on the jumbotron.
"The Chief will take the criticism once the penalties are implemented." Mutsuki said, as they reach the other side of the Shibuya Crossing.
"Tooru. Can I ask?" Aura said, as Mutsuki looked at him.
"Why Yoriko Kuroiwa?" Aura said, curious.
"Because she's an associate to Sensei's bitch." Mutsuki said, coldly.
"You mean the chick from the café?" Aura said, wondering.
"She knew that the hand was fake. So, I won't hold back this time." Mutsuki said, calmly.
"How are you going to do that? By luring her out?" Aura said, wondering.
"No. He won't show her the letter. He'll come to me and hand Isaac and his family over on a silver platter. When he does that, Goat will be finished." Mutsuki said, coldly.
Author's Notes:
Uh oh. A new development in the story between Mutsuki and Isaac, as Shirazu was there the day Isaac taught Mutsuki how love works.
