Interpreting is half the fun in this series.

About the OEK/Arima:

That butterfly panel can be interpreted in so many ways and each interpretation intertwines with the other on top off that. The butterfly also gives you indication to the different reactions of characters OR races. Touka is also seen "playing" with the butterfly. Touka (representing ghouls) & Arima (representing humans). Ghouls live alongside flora & fauna, while human try to cage it and keep it within their reach. Humans forcefully bring things under their control, while ghouls defy that control & are the representation of the animal kingdom. Just as much that humans might be seen as the nemesis, i'd rather say ghouls are the nemesis of humans, taking revenge for the poor way humans treat their environment and just take everything they please. (another interpretation how the butterflies shows us how humans & ghouls approach the bug)

I kinda agree with the more personal interpretation of Arima's character, but have to think about that some more first. :)

On Mutsuki:

Where Kaneki was saved, Mutsuki won't be & we'll see what would've happened with Kaneki if there was no one at that time to get him out his trouble. That's what I belief will happen. I think Urie will be too late & will have to confront something far more twisted then just Torso. And i'm afraid his new squadmembers, will be the price he'll pay for not keeping her close by his side.
