:re Chapter 114

The chapter drifts into memory, back to Haise Sasaki's first meeting with the Qs. Tooru Mutsuki recalls that Sasaki once taught part-time at the academy and would read the haiku poet Santouka over breakfast, and remembers the day his mentor wept after meeting Touka Kirishima. A cascade of thoughts follows, Mutsuki repeating that he loves the man and finding himself unable to stop dwelling on him. When the disguised Uta asks him to lower the knife, Mutsuki instead drives it again and again into the kagune he perceives as Sasaki. Shinsanpei Aura arrives to witness Mutsuki violating the mangled remains of the Uta clone.

The scene shifts to the struggle against Koutarou Amon, with Kurona Yasuhisa fighting alongside Seidou Takizawa. Kurona brings Amon down after a flurry of strikes and considers reaching for the Rc suppressant, but his rapid regeneration returns him to the attack until Takizawa steps in to help. Amon detonates his own right arm to drive Takizawa back, and in that instant Takizawa transforms into a kakuja.

Mutsuki's obsession with Sasaki curdles into a disturbing act against the Uta clone, observed by Shinsanpei Aura. On the other front, Amon's regenerative power and self-destructive strike push the fight to a breaking point, culminating in Takizawa unleashing his kakuja form.
