:re Chapter 59

At the Chateau, Urie stands at an easel painting in his room. Catching a scent, he sniffs and slips on a mask to shut it out.

The scene shifts to the Quinx on assignment, six months after the Rosewald Extermination Operation, with the whole of the CCG now bent on wiping out Aogiri Tree. One of the newer members, Aura, sets a hand on Saiko's shoulder and tells her to hold it together, but she lags behind and blames the previous day's beef bowl. Behind Urie, Higemaru and Hsiao tally their kill counts. Sensing ghouls closing from the rear, Urie warns the group, and masked Aogiri fighters charge in. He orders Saiko forward; her kakugan flares as she draws out part of her kagune and shreds the attackers, drawing praise from Higemaru on how far she has come. When more approach, Urie unsheathes his new katana quinque, Ginkui, and cuts them down while the recruits watch in stunned admiration. Afterward he takes Aura with him to the report meeting, hands the paperwork to Hsiao, and tells Higemaru to go massage Saiko's shoulders. Word has it that Aogiri has been scaling back its activity under the CCG's constant pressure.

With the One-Eyed Owl now the top target, Takeomi, Juuzou, Urie, Hanbee, and Aura report to Matsuri, who leads the S2 squad. He tells them most of Aogiri's bases in the 23rd ward have been broken and that the organization will soon retreat into its stronghold, adding that with Ui weakened by heavy losses in the Rosewald operation, the burden falls to them. As the others go, Matsuri asks Urie to remain, and Urie sends Aura back to the Chateau.

Matsuri credits the CCG's rising strength to the S3 squad. Urie asks whether Arima commands it and is told yes. Matsuri hints that if S2 can rival S3's results, Urie might be named to lead S3, and that from such a post he could promote S2 members at will. Asked to name his most loyal subordinate, Urie addresses Matsuri by rank, notes how the recruits have seized every opportunity, bows, and vows to obey his every command like a faithful dog. Pleased, Matsuri accepts. Privately, Urie reasons that loyalty is his path upward, since a Matsuri angling for Bureau Chief would leave the S3 seat open for him. Matsuri invites him to an upcoming dinner. Noticing a photo of Matsuri and a woman on the desk, Urie wonders if it is family. Leaving, he finds Aura still waiting, who admits he had no keys, and Urie tells him to walk home.

Inside Cochlea, Urie asks a guard about Hinami. She will speak only to Haise, rereading the books he gave her, and Haise never visits. Huddled in her cell, Hinami perks up at Urie's call, then deflates. Urie presents a list of Aogiri members captured over the past month; she fails to recognize two of them and confirms that none rank highly. Thanking her, he moves to leave, but she starts to ask after Haise. Cutting her off, Urie says Haise is busy and offers to pass along her request as long as she keeps cooperating. On his way out he reflects that she expects special warmth from Haise, warmth the man in his current state would not give, and admits he is in no place to call anyone cruel after visiting a ghoul bound for execution.

Outside a building, Sen Takatsuki's editor waits in the cold, wondering when she will arrive. Two men in black, revealed as Sasaki and Furuta, approach. Sasaki flashes his badge, asks whether he is Shiono, identifies them as CCG, and inquires whether Takatsuki is in, while Furuta stands behind him, smiling.

Six months after the Rosewald operation, Urie leads a grown Quinx Squad and wields his new quinque Ginkui in the field. He pledges loyalty to Matsuri Washuu in hopes of eventually leading the S3 squad and is invited to a dinner. Urie visits Cochlea to extract Aogiri intelligence from Hinami, who will only truly open up to Haise. Sasaki and Furuta arrive to question Shiono in their pursuit of Sen Takatsuki.

Titled Fuse! (伏せ!) in Japanese and Kneel! in English, the chapter belongs to the sixth volume of Tokyo Ghoul:re. Its title puns on the word refuse.
