Trapped in Yamori's torture chamber, Ken Kaneki retreats into a hallucination of Rize Kamishiro who forces him to relive his childhood. When his tormentor returns with two hostages, Kaneki faces an impossible demand: decide which captive dies.
Summary
Worn down by the cruelty of Yakumo Oomori, better known as Yamori, Ken Kaneki conjures a vision of Rize Kamishiro as a mental refuge from his ongoing torment. The apparition presses him with pointed questions, drawing his mind back through fragments of his upbringing, the lessons his mother once shared, and the string of hardships that shaped him.
The illusion fades the instant Yamori steps back inside, eager to test a fresh method of breaking his prisoner. He strips away the blindfold, and Kaneki finds his captor gripping Kei and Kouto. The chapter closes on a cruel ultimatum: Kaneki must decide which of the two will be killed.
Key Events
Kaneki leans on the hallucinated Rize as a way to endure Yamori's abuse, and the vision revisits his mother's teachings and his past suffering. Yamori interrupts with a new form of torment, revealing the captured Kei and Kouto and demanding that Kaneki choose one of them to die.
