Desperation

???: Where?! Where?! Where is Kaneki-chan?! Beast Knights have you found him yet?!

"Nope. I'm lurking through Shimotsuki using the Shadows but I can't find him anywhere.

"I don't see any sign of him here in the sky"

"No sign of him here in the forest"

???: Damnit! Insect Familiars?!

"I'm looking everywhere, but nothing"

"Same here"

???: Tch! Where could he possibly have gone to? Keep searching for him!

"Roger"

???: Kaneki-chan... This is really bad.

After Kaneki's disappearance, The Mysterious Character who was always watching over him had completely lost sight of him and had ordered both Beast Knight's and Insect Familiars to search for him.

???: Querxes Sensei and the others are also searching for Kaneki-chan, but their report earlier says they haven't seen him after the had registered for tomorrow's event.

???'s thoughts*

(What can I do to help? Even if I'm a former A.i, there's no way for me to be able to think of a way to help Kaneki-chan, and seeing how he didn't responded to Shino-chan, Miku-chan and Yuuka-chan, he has completely lost all of his senses.)

???: Damnit! How can anyone reach out to Kaneki-chan if he can't even hear him?! This is so annoying! Why just why does that trasheki has to ruin everything!

(I wonder if she could help)

???: Sigh~ no she's can't help him. If everyone's voices can't reach Kaneki-chan, how can her voice reach him?

As she gave up on her idea, she continues to desperately think of ways to help Kaneki, but just then one of her monitors suddenly blurted out a voice.

"Onii-chan?!"

???: Miku-chan's voice?!

It was Miku's voice.

She then watched through one of the monitors that was displaying the groups of Shino, Yuuka and Miku.

Shino: No way...

Yuuka: Our suspicion was right...

Miku: Onii-chan is the Hero.

After they had received the message from Sachi, they immediately gotten more worried.

Yuuka: What Tsukuyumi said back then was true... He has experienced so much pain.

Miku: But why didn't he told us anything?

Shino: That's not important right now, what's important is that we go find him!

Yuuka: let's ask him directly.

Miku: Yeah, let's go.

The 3 then continued on their search again.

Shino: Kaneki! Come out!

Yuuka: Hey Kaneki please come out!

Miku: We know your secret!

As they attempt of call out to Kaneki again.

???: Well of course! He's a peace of shit!

They were rudely interrupted by a Crazy girl.

Shino: We don't have time to deal with her.

Yuuka: Yeah we have go find Kaneki.

Miku: Kane-chan! We're coming!

As the 3 just ignored her.

???: Oi! Don't you dare ignore me you damned traitors!

Swoosh!

She rushed to attack them when they weren't looking.

Burst!

All 4: What the?!

A suddenly burst of black flames appeared surprising them all.

Hero: Cease.

Thud!

The Crazy girl then fell to the ground.

Shino: Wait isn't that?!

???: Oi! What are you doing?! I'm just trying to help Ryueki-sama-

Burst!

???: Ahhhhh!!!!

The Crazy girl then bursted into black flames.

Swoosh~!

And The Hero/Kaneki began absorbing the black flames.

And in just a few seconds, he stopped.

???: W-What am I doing here?

Hero: Inefficient.

???: What's the Hero doing here?! He doesn't even look like a Hero! Scary!

The former crazy girl then ran away in fear.

Hero: A Good friend keeps his promises.

As he repeated those words.

Hug!

He was suddenly hugged by Shino, Yuuka and Miku.

Shino: Kaneki... Why didn't you told us?

Yuuka: you're in a lot of pain right now right? Please let's go back to your house and talk this out with everyone.

Miku: Onii-chan, everyone's worried about you, so please let's go back home.

They tried pleading with Kaneki but.

Hero: True world peace...

The Kaneki they knew was no longer in there.

Burst!

Miku: No! No! Don't leave Onii-chan!

Shino: Please! Let's just go home!

Yuuka: You done need to erase yourself Kaneki!

They desperately called out to him again but, it was sno use.

Swoosh!

He had turned into black smoke and disappeared from their grasp.

Thud!

Shino: Kaneki... We're too late...

Yuuka: is there really no way for our voice to reach him?

Miku: No... I don't want to lose Onii-chan again...

Shino, Yuuka and Miku has completely fallen into despair after seeing Kaneki slip away from them once again.

???: ... Kaneki-chan is gone... No! Don't give up on hope now! I guess there's only one thing to do to prevent Kaneki-chan from dying, I'll use her! I better go get her now before those 3 get there!

(I won't let you die Kaneki-chan, so hang on tight a little longer!)

???: I don't know if it'll work, but she's our only hope of saving Kaneki-chan.

Even though she saw Kaneki's worsen state, she hasn't given up on him yet, what drives her to help Kaneki?
