Later after Touka leaves the bathroom, she overhears students talking about evacuation drills because of the recent ghoul attacks.

Yoriko is glad that she will be able to go back to work soon, but Touka is more focused on studying. At Kiyomi High School, Touka has lunch with Yoriko Kosaka and had told her she was robbed to explain the injuries. Irimi says it is because she needs a goal to work towards. Nishiki is surprised to learn that Touka is trying to get into Kamii University because it is a difficult school to get into. Kaya Irimi responds that she is at school studying for her exams. Nishiki remembers Touka Kirishima and wonders where she is. Koma becomes annoyed and asks him to calm down. Nishiki becomes angered after Hetare defecates on him and tries to catch him. After a fruitless effort, Nishiki is pestered by Hetare. Nishiki approaches Hinami and tries to convince her to take a break. Nishiki Nishio complains about the heavy workload and wants to take a break, but Enji Koma is disappointed that he is tired already when Hinami Fueguchi is working hard. The staff at Anteiku prepare to reopen after the break-in. Hideyoshi Nagachika continues his rounds as the CCG's new part-timer. After their discussion, Shinohara is approached by someone and they make brief small-talk before he hands Shinohara his delivery. Shinohara thinks that they should keep it between them for now. Kuroiwa feels that his encounters with Owl were different and shares his theories. Kuroiwa fought in the first Owl extermination where many died while Shinohara fought in the second where no one died. After the meeting Shinohara and Kuroiwa discuss Owl in private.

Yoshitoki is concerned about their rapid progression and wants to prevent another incident like the one from ten years ago. Yoshitoki tells him that Cochlea is no exception and proceeds to discuss Owl's involvement. He wants to call reinforcements from all the remaining wards and Kyouji Misaka is concerned this also means the 23rd Ward. Aogiri appears to have a pattern in their attacks, so Yoshitoki predicts that either the 3rd Ward or 13th Ward will be next. As 'the ghoul with the eyepatch' has been leading these attacks and is a suspect in the death of Kureo Mado, Yoshitoki asks Shinohara to investigate him. Since the 11th Ward Battle, Aogiri has aggressively been dominating the neighboring wards. Yoshitoki Washuu arrives and they begin their meeting about Aogiri Tree and how it is centered around the 'ghoul with the eyepatch'. Itsuki Marude thinks this behavior is expected of him, but Koori Ui also dislikes that he skipped while Yukinori Shinohara came straight after being discharged from the hospital. Kiyoko Aura wonders about his absence and Mougan Tanakamaru thinks him being a no-show is rude. An investigation conference is held with all the Special Class investigators in attendance except for Kishou Arima.
