Irimi or Koma mentioning off hand that they got married and had a baby daughter during the timeskip like it’s not much of a big deal but then once they do, everyone in Goat who was in Anteiku is staring

“I’m so glad to see you two,” Kaneki whispers. 

“We’re glad to see you.” Koma clasps Irimi’s hand in his. 

Kaneki eyes their intertwined fingers. “Are you…together?”

“We got married while you were out there as CCG’s puppet,” Irimi said softly. “To honor you, really. You saved us, so we lived in your memory.”

Kaneki’s mouth opens. He feels a lump grow in his throat.

“And this is Ai.” Koma points to a baby carriage behind them.

“What?!” Kaneki chokes.

“It’s not a big deal,” Irimi says with a chuckle. 

Hinami eyes Touka, who shrugs. Kaneki looks stunned; Ayato, flabbergasted. And Yomo has always been awkward about these things.  

“Come on guys, say hello to the Devil Dober!” Irimi puts her hands on her hips. Koma scoops up their daughter, who cackles and reaches for his nose.

“She’s adorable,” Hinami finally says. “Can I hold her?”

“Of course.” Irimi nods towards Kaneki. Her point is clear. If you hadn’t saved us, Ai would’t exist.

Kaneki turns away so they won’t see him crying.
