Summary

Hide walks the reader through the six years since the conflict called the Dragon War came to a close, accounting for where each surviving figure has landed. The CCG no longer exists, replaced by the Tokyo Security Committee, a body of ghouls and humans working to hold the peace and to contend with the emerging Dragon Orphans. Kaneki's family and friends gather at his home, and afterward he sets out with Touka and their daughter to walk beneath a clear sky.

The new committee is steered on the human side by Itsuki Marude, with Katsuya Mabuchi as his aide, while Shuu Tsukiyama anchors the ghoul side and Kazuichi Banjou splits his time between committee leadership and the wider ghoul community. Matsuri Washuu takes the surname Suzuki, divorces, and serves in the same organization, and figures such as Kiyoko Aura, Koori Ui, and a retired Take Hirako, now a funeral director, move into quieter roles. Kuki Urie and Yusa Arima track down the last Dragon Orphans, Yukinori Shinohara recovers alongside the loyal Suzuya and his subordinates, and Naki and Miza raise nine children with the White Suits still at their side.

Other threads close in their own way: Saiko Yonebayashi beats her illness to become the heart of the Quinx household, Tooru Mutsuki is forgiven and works on a side branch, and Ayato Kirishima and Hinami Fueguchi end up together, as do the exonerated Takeomi and Yoriko Kuroiwa with their child. Seidou Takizawa and Kurona Yasuhisa roam hunting rogue ghouls, the Clowns persist with Uta still trying to kill Yomo, and Nico drifts the world seeking love. At the center of it all, Kaneki and Touka live as a settled married couple raising their daughter Ichika, with Touka expecting a second child.
