Kaneki: Ma...ma...?
Tohru: That's right! It's me Kaneki-chan, I! Sword-san was Mama the whole time!
Tohru has finally revealed her true identity to Kaneki, although her execution wasn't as good as she thought of.
Chikao: She finally revealed it.
Natsuki: Wait why didn't Higanbana-san told Kaneki at all until now?
Sachi: she probably has her reasons for not telling. But let's just hope that she's able to talk Kaneki into not killing himself.
In the Higanbana residence*
Yuuka: It's so unbelievable, to think that Kaneki's mom and Kaneki is Demon Knights.
Miku: Yeah, maybe... She's the only one who can save Onii-chan now.
Shino: Yes, Aunty may be our only hope of Kaneki coming back to us.
Natsuki, Chikao, Yuuka & Miku: Yeah.
The Higanbana girl's only hope of Kaneki recovering is his own mother.
Kaneki: Mama... Was Sword-san? All this time?
The shock of learning that his own Mother was the sword he used was still affecting Kaneki.
Kaneki: This whole time...
And not in a good way.
Tohru: Yup! So it's alright now, let's ta-
Tohru expected her son to be overjoyed but, his reaction was the opposite of what she wanted.
Kaneki: I've used my own mother as a weapon... Tch! Why? Why?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?!
Tohru: Kaneki-chan?!
He started to freak out.
Kaneki: I'VE USED MY OWN MAMA AS A WEAPON AND KILLED PEOPLE WITH HER! I STAINED MY KIND AND GENTLE MOTHER! WHY?! WHY DIDN'T I REALIZED SOONER! NO WEAPON COULD REALLY TALK WITHOUT A SOUL IN IT!
Burst!
Tohru: !!!
The Black Flames that seemed to be what was left of Kaneki then grew bigger as Kaneki gotten more upset.
Tohru: Damn... I'm dumb. I should have gone with a better approach!
Tohru was very ashamed of making Kaneki cry even more.
Tohru: What do I do? At this rate Kaneki-chan will completely lose it... Sigh~ should I? Well no choice.
Tohru had an idea on how to calm Kaneki down, although there is a risk of it making things worse. She had no other options.
Tohru: Kaneki-chan, it's alright. Besides you're wrong.
Kaneki: Haa?! What're you talking about?!
Tohru: I'm not as Kind and Gentle as you think I am, I'm just like you or more accurately you're just like me.
Kaneki: What... What are you talking about? Mama...
Tohru: I've also killed people and hurt many people just like you Kaneki-chan.
Kaneki: Haa~! Haa~!
Tohru: I... Also lost many people important to me and... I've failed to protect other people's happiness as well...
Kaneki: You... What are you saying Mom?
Tohru: I also hate myself a lot, and honestly even now I still hate myself for not being able to protect you... Just like how you hate yourself for not being able to protect your friends.
Kaneki: What are you-
Tohru: Kaneki... I'm probably the only person who could understand how you feel. Because you and I... Are both Demon Knights.
Tohru has now revealed that both she and Kaneki were Demon Knights.
Kaneki: So what?
But Kaneki could care less.
Kaneki: So what if we're Demon Knights?! That doesn't change the fact I was the reason many lost their families and made many miserable! And... I was the reason my friends kept getting hurt...
Tohru: and do you seriously think removing yourself from them and taking away their memories of you will make them happy?
Kaneki didn't hesitate to answer that question.
Kaneki: Obviously, they'll be more happy without me in their lives, they're better off without me... I bet you and dad would be happier if I wasn't bo-
Tohru: KANEKI-CHAN! DON'T SAY THAT!
Kaneki: ?!
Tohru screamed loudly and with...
Kaneki: Mama... Why are you crying?
Tears flowing.
Tohru: Kaneki-chan... Don't say that... You know? Me and Your Father were the happiest when you were born.
Kaneki: Lies...
Tohru: You don't believe me? Then...
Burst!
Kaneki: ???
Tohru reached out her hand and when she opened it, a purple flame appeared.
All 6: What is that?
Itsuki: fire?
Keiko: what is she doing?
???: What is Hiragi-sama doing?
???: what is that flame?
The Higanbana girl's and everyone else was wondering what the flames was.
Tohru: here Kaneki-chan... All the Memories me and my father had with you.
Swoosh~
The Flames gently flew towards and into the Kaneki made out of black flames..
Kaneki: ARGH!
upon contact, the room both Kaneki and Tohru was in changed into a hospital room.
Tohru: Is this?
Atsuo: Yes dear, it's our boy.
Tohru: He's so cute! I want to hug him very tightly!
Atsuo: Hehe~ don't he's very soft, you can hug him very tightly when he's older.
Tohru: Kaneki-chan, that shall be your name from now on. Welcome to the world.
After that, the room turned into a field of grass.
Kaneki: oooh!
Atsuo: That's my boy! Go on! Come to dad!
Kaneki: giggles~
Tohru: Kaneki-chan can walk yay! Good job Kaneki-chan! You're getting some pudding!
And once again it changed, into their living room in their house.
Tohru: Kaneki-chan you want to watch some Anime with Mama?
Kaneki: Mama.
Tohru: ... Huh? Say that again.
Kaneki: Mama!
Tohru: He said Mama! Dear! Kaneki-chan said his first words!
And then the room turned back to what it was originally was.
Kaneki: Haa~! Haa~!
Tohru: You Kaneki-chan, it's not just me you made happy.
Kaneki: ???
Tohru: You've made a lot of other people happy as well.
Raise~
As Tohru raised her arm.
Itsuki: Guys look!
Kaneki's arm in the real world also raised up.
Tohru: if you don't believe me, then take a good look yourself.
After saying this.
Burst!
Itsuki & Keiko: Woah!
Sachi: What the?!
Chikao: Hey what's happening?! We're on fire!
Natsuki: wait these are?!
Tsukuyumi: Woah!
Arin: what's happening?!
Claudia: What's with these flames?
???: Huh? What's going on?
???: these are such colorful flames!
Everyone who supported Kaneki and the people he had helped all bursted into colorful flames. Which surprisingly not painful at all.
Burst!
Yuuka: Woah, even us?
Shino: I think... Aunty Tohru is going to burrow our memories.
Miku: what makes you think that?
Shino: Kaneki did this earlier remember? But instead he took away the malice from those girls... I think Aunty is going to show the happiest memories we had with him.
Miku: if so, then I won't complain.
Yuuka: same here.
With everyone who supported Kaneki now on fire.
Tohru: Here take a look.
Swoosh!
Tohru made all the flames go into Kaneki's body and then.
Kaneki: AAAARGH!
The memories of the people he had helped came flowing into his body, mind and soul.
"I'm so happy, sniffle~ that Higanbana granted my wish. I wish I can properly thank him"
"Hero-sama thank you for helping us"
"Sensei thank you for teaching me how to read, I can now learn more things thanks to you"
"Man Kaneki really helped us get together, how should we repay him?"
"I know let's be friends with him! He does look lonely"
Countless memories came flowing through but a few sticker out the most.
"Hey Sachi, I'll join your group"
"Yay! With you in Project Kizuna is complete!"
"It's because you're my best friend!"
"Hey Kaneki let's play together forever okay?"
"Thank you... For being my friend even though I was very rude to you and your friends Higanbana..."
"Hey Kane-kun you better give us new names when we become part of your family okay?"
"Yeah!"
"Onii-chan, thank you for everything you've done for me. I wish I could relay you"
"Yay! We're officially friends! Please take good care of me Higanbana-kun"
"Same here... Mizutani-san..."
The last memories to show was of his friends.
Kaneki: No way... There's no way all of this is true...
Tohru: don't tell me you forgotten Kaneki? Right now the reason your friends are happy is because they're with you. If you take yourself away from them and make them forget you will they even still be happy?
Kaneki: Argh! ...
Tohru: Kaneki.
Kaneki: ?!
Tohru: you've made many people happy Kaneki, and your friends are probably the most happy around you. If you were to disappear they would be miserable.
Kaneki: Then... What am I supposed to do?
Tohru: Come back, you don't need to get stronger and more powerful. I was the reason you've gone through so much... But you can stop now Kaneki.
Kaneki: But... My promise...
Tohru: it's alright, you don't need to do it anymore.
Kaneki: B-But-
Kaneki didn't want to break his promise to his mother.
Tohru: it's alright, all I wish is for you to live and be happy.
Kaneki: Mama...
???: After all I've been through! You're asking me to stop?!
Suddenly a distorted voice interrupted the two.
Tohru: ?!
Shadowy figures began appearing in the room.
Kaneki: No... No please!
???: Do you seriously think I'll be happy to live?! After breaking my promise?! Don't give me false hope!
Punch!
Crash!
Tohru was sent flying by the punch from one of the shadowy figures.
Tohru: Argh!
Kaneki: Mama! S-Stop! This isn't want we wanted!
Tohru: Crap it's worse than I thought.
What are these shadowy figures?
???: after all the sacrifice that I've done... There's no going back...
Kaneki: Please! Don't hurt Mama!
???: She's refusing our wish, let's get rid of her so we can get our revenge.
Kaneki: PLEASE STOP!
It is quite obvious isn't it?
