“Today's news report... According to the results of the latest investigation, it is found that the condition of the corpse is probably the work of a zombie. which the unit..."

The interior of the restaurant is simply decorated. Kaneki, in casual clothes, was silently reading a novel, anxiously. This is in contrast to Hide who is actively criticizing the news.

“Are you listening, Kaneki?” Hide's shrill voice drew Kaneki into the truth.

"Sorry, I was a bit distracted just now." Kaneki smiled teasingly, touching his chin slightly. Hide narrowed his eyes in displeasure but agreed to repeat the question again.

“I told you not to go home alone during this time. Even more so, I'm a stubborn bookworm. Be careful of being eaten one day.”

"It's okay. Oh, I'm sorry. Please take the money," the young man said to a young female employee walking by.

“Aren't you going to eat a little more? "Oh my goodness, I'm giving you a treat for Master Kaneki," Hide muttered as he counted the money in his pocket. "Ah, it's good that I went to withdraw the money in advance."

“It's okay. You don't have to pay for mine.”

"Not at all," Hide cut in and smiled mischievously. “Aren't you going to go on a date with that girl tomorrow? Going out with a girl for the first time, if you don't have enough money, that's too bad."

When talking about Rise, the girl he secretly likes. Kaneki blushed but couldn't resist protesting. “Then next meal, you have to let me treat you.”

"Alright, let's take care of you later, Father Monk," Hide said with a laugh. Kaneki hammers Hide and groans.

“Crazy man”

Without knowing that That was the last time they ate together.

The flames raged... Burn everything to ashes...

Inside the shop, there were only the two of them left. The sound of cracking wood before falling down. The fine coffee mug on the shelf shuddered and fell to the wooden floor, which was engulfed by the hot orange flames. The flame radius began to squeeze closer and closer until it felt like it was burning. But his hand was cold.

"I know.... I knew all along…”

Hide's voice still echoed in his thoughts. Kaneki looked blankly at Hide lying in front of him. Tears streamed down the face of an important friend.

Where should I go back?

Or Aogiri? He had no reason to go back there. The organization that he really hates, but goes into to protect everyone, but now... when there are no friends to protect. Where should he go?

To him, this Aktayku was like an important home. Everyone here has become a family that accepts him. But when there is no Aktayoku Where can he go without a refuge? Where else can he go? A half-zombie who cannot live in human society and cannot act like a normal zombie. There's nowhere to go back.

But...

“Let's go home... Kaneki"

Hide's last request Words that make you force yourself to come and speak to him...

Ah... I'm really stupid.

The young boy sneered at himself. In fact, he had never noticed it in the first place. To him, Hide was not only his close friend who understood him the most. Hide was a friend, a brother, and the only relative he had. ...to be relied upon ...is everything

In fact, where it is is not important at all. As long as Hide is there, that's enough...

...Just being with Hide is enough.

"Let's go home, Hide," Kaneki said softly. He bent down and hugged his friend's body. Before the raging flames squeezed in until nothing could be seen.

“Let's go home together.”

“That's.... a zombie.”

“That guy, that level eyepatch.

ss”

“Why are you here? Or are you going to attack again!?”

Exclamations sounded from every direction. The officers who were still able to move picked up their weapons and aimed them at the figure walking in the middle of the road. Amidst the snow falling, a young zombie was carrying something wrapped in a white cloth, walking slowly on the road that was full on both sides.

CCG

Maybe there might be a weapon in there. The officers stared warily.

But unlike the officials who were fully alert. Kaneki, on the other hand, didn't pay any attention to the officials left and right. The youth walked slowly and steadily forward. Of course, the officials who knew the level of the zombies in front of them did not dare to act rashly and could only watch the zombies' expressions for the time being.

“That's...” The officer lowered his weapon unconsciously. A thin piece of cloth flew and fell to the ground, revealing the body of someone in uniform.

CCG

Why did that zombie....

"Hide..." Kaneki muttered softly, looking down at Hide's pale, bloodless face but not stopping. Both arms felt the temperature drop of the lifeless body in their arms.

Hide is dead... But the young man couldn't stop...

Must go home... The thought entered his mind. Repeatedly as if giving a command I have to go home with Hide. Must go back...

He continued walking, not even bothering to hide his face. Don't glance at them.

CCG

waiting for orders to eliminate enemies on both sides of the road It was as if even if he died now, he wouldn't care.

Because now he had no reason to want to live anymore.

The young man glanced at the sky where snow was falling continuously. Spotlight from a helicopter

ccg

It hurts his eyes, but he continues to walk slowly.

until....

Kaneki stopped walking and stared blankly at the person in front of him. Arima Special Class Kishou stood in the way. Snow-white hair was swept back. A pale hand under a white robe tightened on the onyx colored bag. Gray eyes stared back at him emotionlessly, like a machine.

Kaneki gently placed Hide's body on the ground. Then he stepped out and looked at Arima with a blank expression.

Please wait for me.

I'm going to go find it now.

hide

Finally the snow fell...

...with the morning sun arriving....

....and reveal the results of the battle that ended silently.

Arima Kishou stood still and picked up the Queen that was stuck on the ground. Gray eyes looked at the body lying in a pool of blood and smiled.

“I really need a new queen.”

I'm shocked.

This fic came out of pure emotion after watching the anime. At least your ending was better than in the manga... One person got **** and the other became ****. At least we still had some goodbyes. Not like the manga...

Even though the movie doesn't say anything at all. But Wright thinks that when Kaneki walked up to Dove, it was because he was completely hopeless. So hopeless that he doesn't care about anything. Unable to help the manager with the seniors, the shop was burned down, and my dearest friend died...

The mood is not fan fiction. It's more like writing a narrative than fiction. Hmm....
