Well, my way of thinking has indeed been considered bizarr before, but I prefer to call it "thinking from outside the box" and "neutral perspective"

I´m not trying to justify the actions of Mutsuki´s father, only find the "cause" of it. And if whatever is wrong in Mutsuki´s head came from him (the symbolism of the eyes) then the reason he started beating her up, would be that he saw "himself" in those eyes and didn´t "like what he saw"... hence the beating... and for the leering? Mind you all, he was "drunk"... and one tend to do pretty terrifying things while under the influence of alchohol...

No justification, just "cause" and the triggers of such behaviors.

(Until I see the "eyes" of a young Mutsuki when NOT in such a situation showing if her eyes are still souless black holes, I rest my case.)

The reason I find no genuine remorse in Mutsuki´s "confession" in the latest chapter, is because I noticed what her "hands" was doing right before she "confessed"...

She was gripping after anything to wrangle, any foundation for her lying to assert itself on...

And in the flashbacks with the cats, it´s shown that when confronted with the truth, Mutsuki WILL deny it and break down into tears while denying the whole thing and be reasserted into the lie the moment her hands finds "anything" to hold and wrangle, may it be dirt or a jar or a pant leg... And Mutsuki, in her "confession", was indeed crying, yes... but from remorse...

It was not tears of "I´m so sorry!"

But "I CAN`T LIE ANYMORE!? NOOO!"

Her "hands" was what got me considering that her response to facing the truth is not of any noble sort... She´s litteraly grasping for any straws just so she could reassure herself and find any way to keep denying and lie about it just to satisfy and shield her own (id-sized) ego.

When forced to face the truth, she will break down crying... and those tears?

They´re "crocodile tears".

This is not a biased opinion, as I read tokyo ghoul, not from a "bias" perspective, but from the one of a "true neutral"

The problem as I see it from reading these replies seems to come from people being biased and fiercly trying to "protect their image of a character" by giving them any sort of excuse to "why" they act like that... (Yes, I myself have stated that most of the characters have been "broken by the circumstances" to become what they are... but mind you all, that´s no justification of what they have been doing, but a "cause" of "why" they´re doing it. It makes them "understandable", not "redeemable", this is the difference I want to point out since the replies appears to indicate that I´m trying to "defend" these murderers and abusers. I am not. I´m, like a scientist, only trying to find the connections between "cause and effect" within this great series)

Also, another thing...

When she laughs at the end, it´s not from hysteria, nor terror or a mental breakdown.

It´s "relief".

Because now, she doesn´t have to endure the heavy stress that "keeping the lies up" comes with anymore and everyone knows that "lying is heavy" and "truth is light"... And at the extent Mutsuki has been lying, I can only imagine the size and weight of the burden that must have vanished the moment she just shrugged it off when faced with the undeniable truth.

also, minor note: During the Auction, she did say "I want to see my family"... when she at her lowest emotional point and heavily wounded... But knowing how her family was now, it got me thinking... "What comfort could she possibly find from that kind of household"?

Then it hit me...

Mutsuki never clarified what "state" she wanted to see her family in that time... As in "alive"...

...or their "corpses"?

mind you all, she was "smiling" when she killed them, and she has shown to feel "pleasure" when killing, as shown with the cats... and she was smiling when the police showed up and found her drenched in her parent´s blood and even when she was lying with a fake "broken" expression in her face, she still smiled over what had happened. So she might, during that time in the Auction, have tried to "cheer herself up" with a mental image of the time when she actually felt "joy" with her dysfunctional family... aka, killing and reducing them to corpses.

Mutsuki has been hiding it well, but even when she has been lying, she has been fully aware of her memories and being the "hypocrite" she is, just pushed it away and ignored it for as long she could just keep on lying to herself.

I have gone back so many times through the story to see if I could have been proven wrong about this... but with this revelation in the latest chapter to light, ever single thing Mutsuki has been doing, have only made the "good" aspect of her appear more and more like a facade she subconsiously kept up for all this time...

And this is from a "outside the box" standpoint.

You said that Ishida has stated "Monsters aren´t born"?

Every rule...has its "exception".

And Mutsuki is just that.

A "exception" to the rule.

A "natural born monster".

End of my opinion, that´s all.
