^ Wasn't the topic "Would Mutsuki go after Touka and how"?

Besides that, hostage situations do indeed tend to end up with the demander's demands only superficialy meet, but we also have to consider what Mutsuki can use in order to ensure things could turn out in her favor.

1. One henchman/meat shield. (Aura)

2. A human hostage who does not know the full truth of the situation. (picture this. Would Touka risk exposing herself as a ghoul to Yoriko when things gets ugly? Or would she restrain herself from showing the ghoul signs in order to preserve the impression of "human" in Yoriko's mind?)

3. The handmade mask she got from Uta. (Making wonders in disguising herself to not appear as a CCG agent, but from the hostage and the ghoul herself who has seen her without it but can't make the connection when the mask is on...something only Kaneki would be able to do since he has seen Mutsuki in and out of the mask.)

4. The unknown RC-quality in her body. (This was concealed for a reason, and Urie's was allowed to be shown and that was nearly 2000 RC...which means that whatever Mutsuki got, is even higher then that and high enough to be kept hidden for shock-factor later...Which means that her bikaku, a average ace-card, is fueled like a monster for the battle. Recall, we have seen what a monsterous bikaku ghoul can pull off (Noro for example), so having a ace in the sleeve, a ace that can be used as throwing knifes (recall what Mutuski did in the clown raid) which also eliminates the massive advantage the ukaku ghouls have agains tthe bikaku,(ranged combat) in the process, will make this battle a nail-biter.)

5. Knife skills. (Trained by the best too.)

6. The choice of location.(Adding extra surprises and advantage to the hostage scenario as well.)

7. Demands. (Can make this very specific to Mutuski's advantage.)

8. The heart of a murderer. (Which is far different from having the "heart of a killer" which is killing out of necessity, this is the skill of a pureblood "psychopath", one who can kill without any reason whatsoever. In sharp contrast to Touka who got the "Heart of a killer" and a pacifist on top of that...differences in attitude there.)

There's a few more advantages that Mutuski got, but I will wait with those for now...

the point is, Mutuski got plenty of advantages to play in this upcoming confrontation and should not be counted out so easily. After all, Mutsuki is a legit "antagonist" in a storytelling perspective...(And why I call her that? Despite knowing and calling herself "despicable" and "revolting", Mutuski herself isn't doing a single thing to change her ways or even try becoming a better person. She just carries on as she always has and the only thing that really changed, is that she is more honest to herself about it now. She is indeed a "antagonist" in the same line as Yamori, no, now when I think and analyze it properly, she is even worse than Yamori...since he never hated himself for who he was, he was honest from the start and took pride in himself, making him, in a twisted sense, a better person than Mutsuki, who just kept lying to everyone and herself included, just to "appear" as a better person without actually doing or going through the effort in becoming one...)

But that aside, Mutsuki got multiple edges and is not an idiot, which will make this sub-plot quite the thriller to watch into play. And most likely, it will be Mutuski's swan song once it happens, (in the best case scenario...since if she survives this, her sanity will utterly shatter the moment she sees Kaneki with Touka...and slip down the slope from there.)

Mutsuki vs Touka...the battle of the bunnies beginning soon...
