Chapter 111

Koutarou Amon resolves to stay and watch over Akira Mado. After a brief calm she climbs out of bed, throws her arms around him, and begs him not to leave while calling him father. Rattled, Amon starts doing push-ups, telling himself he was the inexperienced one and swearing to make no further mistakes. Come morning, Akira wakes and steps onto her terrace to find Amon still at his push-ups, apparently having kept at them all night. Over a meal she prepares for him, she teasingly brands him a pervert, then apologizes, and Amon urges her to give up drinking.

Uta recounts his own past to Ken Kaneki, describing how he first met Renji Yomo and ran the 4th Ward. He explains that he steered clear of fighting Yomo when the man joined the ward, since a serious clash would have killed them both. Over time the two grew close, and Yomo confided that his aim was simply to become stronger. In that same period Kishou Arima was making visits to the 4th Ward, instructing Take Hirako to ready themselves for their assignment.

A drunk Akira mistakes Amon for her father and clings to him, prompting Amon to do push-ups through the night out of guilt. Akira later apologizes, and Amon tells her to stop drinking. Uta tells Kaneki how he met Renji Yomo and shared control of the 4th Ward, avoiding a fatal fight until they became close. Kishou Arima and Take Hirako are shown active in the ward during that era.
