Chapter II: Farewell one-eyed owl

Every inch of her body is screaming for help and yet the owl said none. Empty as she always have been, the owl wanted to live the last of her breath accordingly. Her defeat at the hands of the Washuu king taught her the fear of dying alone without fulfilling her promise to the man who showed her that living is never wrong. Never had she dreamt of experiencing such a pitiful death in the hands of those who stole from them that is why when Kaneki's group left her at cochlea. She died all alone. However; that faint smiling clown and that mad researcher played the role of gods. Awakening her from eternal slumber, Eto tried to at least take her own life. Alas, the last person whom she ever wish to see had seen her first.

"It's you" She resurfaced from her huge kakuja's head and then she stares down towards the man below her. Not so long ago she heard the clacking of heels into the tile floor. The viridian beauty saw the Washuu king.

"I won't need this—" He jumped on top of her kakuja with precise motion and he grabbed a handful of her hair and gently dismantling her head.

"So this is death. I must say that it is very thrilling" Eto muttered upon looking at the dark sky. Eto as a child had always know that everything will come to an end and everyone will forget about her. Her mother, her father, her friends, her lover and even that faint smiling clown, they are all gone. There's no doubt that she'll be gone soon too. Any ghouls who undergo orgel can't live without their host. She felt just now that her owner is gone. Probably he got what he always wanted, real freedom. Freedom from this unjust world and he is going to take her with him just like what he promised her. Never had she ever felt so thankful on someone. At last everything will come to an end and I don't regret giving up everything for this time to come.

"…" Hirako stared at the lifeless body of the owl for a second before cutting Kaiko into several chunks.

"She died even before you could kill that old man" Ui muttered.

"She might have had a different owner" Hirako sighed upon realizing that the war is now about to end. All they need to do is to wait for Kaneki to defeat the dragon's main body.

"Take, are we going to take Eto with us?" Yusa asked the taller man. The boy always knew that this woman is important for Arima Kishou. They've been more than friends but their circumstances did not allow them to be together.

"Yes" Ui answered in behalf of his friend. "She helped us to defeat these crazy men"

"I am sure Arima-san will be happy to see her"
