Clang!

Spark!

After Ku-kun had kicked away the 9 other Kaneki's to the far side of Ryueki city, leaving Kaneki 0 and Azuna (Kaneki's Demon half) in one place.

Kaneki 0: Azuna, I'm sorry I've put you through a lot. Please come back to your usual self!

Azuna: ...

Kaneki 0 is now trying to convince Azuna who was consumed by malice to come back to his old self.

Kaneki 0: didn't you want to become one? You always talked about becoming our one true self when I shunned you!

And he was also trying to remind Azuna of his wish as well.

Natsuki: huh? What does that mean?

Sachi & Chikao: one true self?

Natsuki, Sachi & Chikao didn't know what he meant by becoming his one true self.

Yuuka: Really?!

Yuuka knew what he meant.

Miku: you know what Onii-chan is talking about?

Yuuka: Yeah, Half Human Half Demon's has two sides, a normal Human side and a slightly evil Demon side.

Miku: We already know that Yuuka-Oneechan.

Yuuka: But if they become one being they would become more powerful.

Shino: Really?!

Yuuka: yes, although there is two different conditions for that to happen.

Miku: Which are?

Yuuka: the first one is that the two sides must agree to become one together and the other...

Yuuka's tone gotten lower as she looked at both Shino and Miku.

Yuuka: or by destroying the other half and consuming it.

Both Shino's & Miku's face went pale as they heard that.

Shino: gulp! But Kaneki can convince his Demon half right?

Miku: Yes definitely

Yuuka: That's right, if he convinces his Demon to go back to its old self, they'll become one.
