Pg 1: Kanou’s researchers and CCG members sit around a table discussing how to combat Kaneki. One member says that if it continues it will go wild to compensate for energy loss and could take out the entire 23rd ward. Kimi holds up a folded paper crane and says that that kagune is like it.
Pg 2: She says that the surface area of a paper crane is 40% of the original paper and if it’s unfolded it’s 2.5 time the size of the original paper. She says that the origami crane is like a kagune, where a large collapsible physical structure is hidden within it. She says that because Kaneki took in a large number of kakuhou then it should have a large number of “paper cranes” inside. Marude asks her what they should do.
Pg 3: Kimi says that the kagune is spread out over a large area but from within there should be a body that it originates from. She tells him that if they take the main body out then the kagune will break down but it will be difficult to find. She says that they could also wait for it to die out naturally because the RC cells have a structure similar to telomeres and have a finite number of times they can divide. They ask her how long until the kagune starts to break down.
Pg 4: Kimi answers that it will take about 200 years. Marude asks where the main body is and is suddenly interrupted by an investigator telling him they are in trouble. Downstairs a number of CCG members are banded together, terrified.
Pg 5: They say that there are ghouls within the gate. The CCG members nervously stand prepared to attack. Urie and Saiko wonder why they are there. Marude sees the ghoul and tells his men to attack them.
Pg 6: Marude sees Hide, Amon, and Akira standing with the ghouls. He wonders what Hide is doing.
Pg 7: One of the investigators notices Amon and is surprised he’s still alive. Marude asks Hide what he’s doing and Hide says that he brought people to help. He says that they need people to help dig up the main body and there are limits to humans. Marude gets angry and asks him if he’s expecting him to work with ghouls.
Pg 8: Hide says that he is. He says that the main body is Kaneki Ken and the ghouls will cooperate to help him. The CCG become shocked that the One-Eyed King is the source of the main body. The men begin panicking because they believed that Kaneki was executed by Furuta.
Pg 9: Ui enters with Hirako and the remaining Squad 0 member. He says that Furuta has stepped down and that he used the CCG for his personal gain and falsely executed Kaneki to gain their trust. He says that Furuta’s original plan was to create the monster and they were all blind to his plan.
Pg 10: Ui asks if he came back to ghouls and humans working together as well as Marude and Amon coming back from the dead. He says that if that’s the case then he wants Arima and Hairu to come back too. He asks Hide if he’s going to dig out Kaneki alongside the CCG. Ui says that it’s impossible for humans and ghouls to work together and asks Marude if he agrees.
Pg 11: Ui tells the ghouls to leave before they are killed. Amon asks Ui what the important thing to an investigator is. Ui answers that it is exterminating ghouls and Amon tells him that he’s wrong.
Pg 12: Amon says that the most important thing is that the CCG fights to maintain peace. He says that they have to fight with the ghouls. Saiko raises her hand and says that she will accept help from the ghouls.
Pg 13: Saiko says that she will fight alongside them. The other Quinx members agree with her. Other investigators become riled up at the thought of working with ghouls.
Pg 14: All of the ghouls suddenly throw away their masks and reveal their faces to the CCG members.
Pg 15: Touka says that their pride as investigators is a load of bullshit. She says that they are going to do whatever it takes. Juuzou approaches the crowd.
Pg 16: Juuzou says that they should accept the help from the ghouls because that’s what Shinohara would do. Marude tells Juuzou to make his own decisions because he’s an adult.
Pg 17: Marude tells him that if he says that he wants to work with the ghouls the entire CCG would follow. Juuzou says that they should work together.
Pg 18: Juuzou says that it will be easier that way. Everyone accepts this decision and the ghouls smile, relieved.
