Aw thank you. We all need a distraction after recent events.
“Thought you were gonna be a top investigator, Seidou!” Suzuya Juuzou yells. He has Jason in his hands, Arata over his body. But to strike – to take the blow that even Akira couldn’t take –
“I thought you were gonna be different for Mr. Shinohara, hmm?” Takizawa Seidou grins. “Move on from your experience, stop killing for orders. Kill for justice if necessary. What happened?”
He feels sick. He, of all people, now knows what Suzuya endured at the hands of ghouls.
But his greatest anguish is himself, who used to be a human, and Kanou, who was a human.
How many ghouls have Suzuya as their greatest anguish?
“You’re a ghoul.” Suzuya raises Jason.
“But I was a human. Do you think I chose this? Did you choose to be in the restaurant?” Takizawa throws back his head and laughs. “You just tried to kill your friend Kaneki, right? Are people that disposable to you? Maybe it’s chance that I was taken by Aogiri and Mr. Shinohara was not. What would you do then?”
Suzuya glowers at him. “Don’t you dare.”
No, no – he can’t picture Mr. Shinohara as a ghoul. That could never happen.
“I will dare. I have to. It’s my life, and I’m not done with it yet.” Seidou bares his teeth.
“Shut up!” Suzuya breaks first, to Seidou’s relief.
“Squad Leader,” gasps Hanbee.
“Shut up, you.” Seidou throws himself towards Suzuya, who prepares to swing Jason –
But Amon Koutarou and Mado Akira leap into the fray. In a matter of seconds, Amon’s kakuja has demolished Suzuya Squad.
“Well. Good work, Seidou. Now let’s cuff them and take them to the merciful ghouls.” Akira snaps her fingers. Seidou’s face lights at her praise.
