As Class 1-C was about to start their lessons, Kaneki who was missing for a whole day has suddenly appeared.
But his appearance shocked everyone.
Querxes: Kaneki?!
???: what happened to him?!
???: how is he still alive?!
???: no more importantly, why does he look like that?!
Miku: No way! Kane-chan wasn't like that last time!
Sachi, Shino, Yuuka, Chikao & Natsuki: Kaneki/Higanbana-kun...
Kaneki's appearance looked like a corpse, his hair has turned white, his skin was really pale and his eyes were completely black.
The Kimono he had when during that night was still on him too.
Kaneki: S... Sen...
Thud!
Shiver
Suddenly he collapsed and started shivering.
Kaneki: Argh!
Querxes: Kaneki!
Querxes went closer to Kaneki and checked him.
Querxes: what the?! No heat at all! What about your pulse?
He checked his pulse but suddenly.
Querxes: !!!
His face went pale as well.
Querxes: Shit!
Seeing his reaction, Miku, Sachi, Chikao and Natsuki asked worriedly.
Miku: What's wrong?!
Sachi & Chikao: Is he alright?!
Natsuki: Sensei?!
Querxes: ...
Querxes couldn't answer.
Querxes: Everyone! This is an emergency so I have to leave.

Querxes: I'm going to get Kaneki checked.
Yuuka: Why?! What happened?!
Itsuki: C'mon sensei! Tell us what happened we're worried!

Sachi: c'mon everyone let's talk in the living room
All 5: okay.
And so everyone went to the living room.
After they went to the living room, Kaneki was once again left alone in his room.
Kaneki: I'm sorry for making you worry... I shouldn't have been born, I am just a curse to everyone.
With how Kaneki is now, all progress that the girls made with him has disappeared. What will they do now?
And what was the cause of Kaneki's change?
