"There are chords in the hearts of the most reckless which cannot be touched without emotion." The CCG attempts to pursue a dangerous enemy, known as the Red Death, with little to no evidences. It all starts with a ghoul society which hosts a masquerade ball within seven rooms of a building. In the midst of their revelry, a mysterious figure enters and trespasses through each of the rooms. When several CCG investigators seize the celebration they die after confronting this stranger, whose mask revels to be of Red Death. Awhile later the Red Death is trailed by Aogiri Tree's Black Rabbit in means of recruiting the ghoul into their organization. However, things change when Ayato finds out the Red Death's secret and the person behind the mask. [ This story is set in the Tokyo Ghoul :re timeline but doesn't follows the manga's storyline or events. Also it's loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's Masque of the Red Death in the beginning only.
