Summary

When Yoshimura raises the chance that Anteiku may never reach Kaneki again, Touka is stunned and Nishiki erupts, demanding to know whether the young man is already dead. The manager admits the worst outcome is possible, prompting Nishiki to press whether rescuing Kaneki is worth the effort while hope remains. Yoshimura warns of the deadly risk, and his silence about abandoning Kaneki finally breaks when Touka vows to go alone if she must. Nishiki and Hinami commit as well.

Yoshimura then clears the air, telling them he had meant to help Kaneki from the start, and asks the whole shop to stake their lives on the attempt. Once they agree, he ushers in Shuu Tsukiyama, unsettling Touka and Nishiki. Tsukiyama explains he survived by taking Touka's earlier advice and feeding on himself to recover. Touka objects that he only wants to devour Kaneki, but Yomo volunteers to keep him in check. Uta and Itori arrive bearing intelligence and gear, and Koma is asked to guard the shop, which he gladly accepts. As the meeting closes, Yoshimura warns Yomo that the Kaneki they knew may no longer exist.

Meanwhile, the Commission of Counter Ghoul advances on the Aogiri hideout with Itsuki Marude leading the operation.
