Pg 1: Cover page of Kaneki wearing an eyepatch.

Pg 2: Akira awakens and sits up in bed. She wonders where she is. Banjou excitedly begins telling her how glad he is that she finally woke up. She furrows her brow and asks him who the hell he is.

Pg 3: Kaneki sits in a room filled with many monitors. He appears to get dizzy looking at them. Banjou approaches him and tells him that Akira woke up. The scene changes to Kaneki standing at the side of her bed.

Pg 4: Akira begins to tell Kaneki about her memories and emotions but cuts herself off. She asks him if he is someone that she knows. He tells her that his feelings have not changed (likely his feelings regarding her as a mother figure). She interrupts him.

Pg 5: She tells him that the investigator that she knew (Haise Sasaki) would have never turned his blade against Arima. She turns away from him and asks him to leave her alone. Later Kaneki talks to Hirako, saying that he probably shouldn’t have brought up the CCG and Arima. Hirako says that it’s important to get it out now rather than leaving an opportunity for misunderstanding later. Kaneki comments that Akira is more delicate than you would think.

Pg 6: Kaneki asks Hirako if he thinks that things will be okay. Hirako replies that her environment has drastically changed and it will take time to break the ice. Hirako tells Kaneki that according to his contacts (implied to be Tsukiyama and Hori who have broken into the CCG’s database) Akira has been removed from her former role as a CCG investigator and is on the wanted list of “ghoul countermeasures act violators”. He says it’s impossible for her to go back to the way things were. In the background Tsukiyama and Hori discuss hosting a cyberattack on the CCG but Hori says that they will track them down quickly. Hirako says that Akira shielding Takizawa led to the current situation. Kaneki says that he wants to do what he can for her because she is important to him. Hirako says that it will take time but they can possibly shorten the process.

Pg 7: Hirako says that the person who can shorten the process is possibly the one who hates her the most (Hinami). The scene changes to Ayato and Hinami standing in the remains of the 19th Ward Base of Aogiri Tree. Ayato asks Hinami why she brought him there. Hinami tells Ayato that Akira regained consciousness. Ayato realizes that she’s talking about the “spine-wielder” (Akira, in reference to her quinque, made from Hinami’s father). Ayato asks Hinami if she hates her.

Pg 8: Hinami says that she didn’t directly do anything to her but it’s complicated having her in Goat because every time she looks at her she can’t help but to remember her mom and dad (recall that Akira’s father, Mado, was the one who killed Hinami’s parents in the original TG). Hinami says that she will likely eventually get used to it but she thinks that it would be a disgrace to their memory because she wants to remember them when she wants to, not when she is forced to. She says someday she wants to perceive what happened to them in a positive way and file it away with the rest of her memories.  

Pg 9: Hinami begins to cry. Ayato approaches her and reaches his hand out. The scene changes to Touka standing behind the counter of :re.

Pg 10: Amon enters the café. He addresses her as Rabbit. Touka invites him to take a seat and asks if he is there to arrest her. He says that he would if he had his badge. He asks for a cup of coffee. Touka asks if he wants it black and asks if he wants to see Akira.

Pg 11: Touka begins making the coffee and tells Amon that she has woken up. Amon tells her that he’s scared. He says that he is neither human nor ghoul and has wandered so long without saying a word to her. Amon says that he can’t find the words to say to her. Touka tells Amon that she wants to talk to Akira too.

Pg 12: She says that she is scared because she is the one that killed her father, Mado. She tells him that if Amon doesn’t go first then she will be too scared to meet her at all. Amon tells Touka that losing Mado lit a fire in his chest that will burn until he dies. He says that the fire doesn’t burn at her, but instead it burns at the world and the circumstances that gave them no choice but to do what they did. He says that he came to the café to tell her that.

Pg 13: Touka asks Amon if he ever wanted to see Akira while he was wandering about. Amon thinks back to one of his first encounters with Akira. He says that he did. Touka tells him to just go. She says that she would be happy, even if time had passed and if their bodies had changed and he had forgotten her completely.

Pg 14: She says that as long as he comes back home things will be alright (giving Amon advice but obviously she is speaking in reference to Kaneki). Amon drinks the coffee.

Pg 15: Amon tells Touka that she’s pretty nice. The narration states that at the same time Goat was shaken up by the awakening of Akira the CCG was on the cusp of profound change.

Pg 16: Urie, Ui, Juuzou, and Mougan walk down a hallway. Their names are displayed along with their updated ranks and affiliated squads.

Pg 17: Many CCG members are gathered for an announcement of the new chief. The narration states that Ui became the aide and advisor to the new Washuu chief and had distanced himself from his duties as the S1 squad so Mougan took over as deputy leader. Urie was given Matsuri’s position as leader of the S2 squad and had his rank raised to First Class.

Pg 18: The narration states that with the Washuu line almost entirely wiped out there was only one man in the Bureau who had Washuu blood in his veins, Furuta. Furuta now goes by the name Kichimura Washuu and is known as the last Bureau Chief of the CCG (there is a translator note stating that the Washuu Bureau Chief naming system adds “kichi” or “Yoshi” to the appointee’s previous name, I will likely continue to refer to him as Furuta to avoid confusion from switching names too much in my summaries).  Furuta approaches the gathered investigators wearing a sash, party glasses, and a false mustache. Ui stands behind him looking irritated.

Is anybody else getting bad vibes from Ui this page? I feel like he’s lost it or losing it real quick. He looks so done and so……apathetic almost. To me, (I’ve probably got this very wrong but bear with me) Ui seems to have also lost parts of his ideals. That whole ‘CCG are knights in shining armour and ghouls are all evil’ shtick. He hasn’t lost the ‘ghouls are evil’ part but the CCG are knights part. It seems Ui doesn’t do it for justice anymore (like he thought he was doing before), he’s doing it because its 'ghoul disposal’ as he said so himself. Also Ui seems to acknowledge that the CCG had been 'destroyed".

"First class boy... What’s going on here?!”
