Juuzou's mouth went dry. This couldn't be true. He must've heard it wrong. But Amon's words had echoed through the chamber clear as day.

"Oh god," Kiniko said next to him. "I've never been more happy about my nose being broke. I could've slept with the owl!"

Juuzou said nothing. His hands trembled and his eyes began to water. Sen had lied to him. Everything she had ever told him— was a lie. It all made sense now. She was using him to get classified CCG information. That'a why she had been so interested in the raids he had.

She had never loved him.

After all he had done for her… She was using him. She knew his past, and she pretended to feel bad about it. She was one of them. She was a ghoul.

And not just that, she was the One Eyed Owl. Suddenly, a wave of realization washed over Suzuya, making him sick to his stomach.

She had killed Shinohara.

He balled his hands into fists and clenched his teeth. She was the one who caused him to be in the hospital for weeks! Yet, at at the same time, Juuzou felt foolish. How could he not have seen the signs earlier? They were all there. He ran through the suspicious things:

Sen usually said she was full when he offered her food. And when she did eat, it was very little. The 'dreams' where he would awake in the middle of the night and she'd be gone. They weren't really dreams. Her lack of cooking skills— she didn't need to cook what she ate.

Juuzou's heart didn't have time to break before his sadness was replaced with rage.

"Suzuya, are you okay?" Kiniko whispered to him. "You look kinda pale."

"I need to go," Juuzou said sharply, standing up.

Everyone is the meeting looked at him. The young investigator grabbed his quinque case and strode out of the meeting hall.

"Suzuya?" Amon said from the podium.

"I need to leave!" Juuzou screamed, not even looking over his shoulders.

Fuming, he slammed every door he came across. He angrily strode out of headquarters, and walked to their apartment.

Their apartment. It disgusted him. He had lived with a ghoul for a year.

In the apartment, Eto was getting dressed. A single bag sat in on the floor; all of her belongings she needed were packed in it. She had put different clothes on, wearing something that wouldn't show her damaged shoulder. She wore a large, floppy black hat to hide her face.

Suddenly, she heard loud, angry stomps coming up the steps, and she knew she had taken to long.

Juuzou flung the door open, the handle hitting the wall and taking a chunk out.

"You ghoul!" he roared at her.

Eto looked at him sadly. She had no energy. She could not fight him, she didn't want to argue, and she was all out of tears to cry. If he was to kill her, so be it. She didn't care anymore. Eto had nothing left to live for.

"Yes I am," she said weekly.

Juuzou looked at her teary eyes, disgusted. Why was she the one crying?

"The One Eyed Owl!"

"Yes," Eto said, giving his quinque case a glance. Her voice had no cunning twist to it, just defeat.

"How could you do this to me?" he screamed, still standing in the doorway. "You used me! Everything you ever told me was a lie!"

"Not everything," Eto said, hanging her head. "I really did love y—."

"Don't tell me that, you monster," Suzuya spat. "Why would you go as far as you did? Hell, I even slept with you!"

"My name's Eto," the half ghoul said weekly. "Eto Yoshimura."

"Well, you even lied about your name too," Juuzou sneered. "I'm not surprised."

"Juuzou, I—."

"I don't wanna hear it," Suzuya snarled, and Eto flinched. "You're a ghoul, and I'm an investigator. That means I kill you."

Juuzou pressed the button on his quinque case, and it transformed into a scythe. Eto didn't even flinch. She just looked at it with the saddest eyes Suzuya had ever seen. She just stood there. When he did not swing, she spoke.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" she asked, a look of accepted defeat on her face.

Juuzou trembled, and he stared into her eyes. She had given him so many good memories. Something to live for. He sighed, and his scythe close up and returned to its case. Eto didn't react to him putting away his weapon. Her eyes remained hopeless.

"Take your things," Juuzou said, voice shaking in anger yet level. "And get out."

"Juuzou…"

"You better get out!" he shouted. "While you can!"

She picked up her bag and walked toward he door. She gave him a mournful look.

"If I ever see you again, I'll kill you!" he snarled at her.

"Goodbye, Juuzou," she said, voice soft.

"That's Suzuya to you," he spat.

Eto said nothing and left, leaving Juuzou alone.
