Apparently Arima didn’t kill the butterfly, he let it go and smiled slightly. I’m guessing this is heavy symbolism for his relationship with Haise/Kaneki

SPOILER IMAGE: When Yoshitoki was around, Arima captured the butterfly from chapters ago but it seems he lets it go when alone TTTTT.
“Currently engaging in combat…” “Support…” “This is the Qs Squad… We’ve located a cave, we will be infiltrating…”
Transmissions enter one after another. This seems to be taking place before Mutsuki was found.
Special Class Marude is inside the room and is pointing a gun towards Yoshitoki. There are also a number of people behind him.
Yoshitoki: …Maru, what happened to commanding? Marude: Well, just finished the first part. Yoshitoki: … Yoshitoki: What are you planning to do with ‘that’? This is no laughing matter. Marude: Yoshitoki-san…
Marude: It’s not like I fell at the mercy of that useless reading material. (prob refers to Eto’s book) Marude: It’s just that the book claimed that the ‘Washuus are cooperating with the Ghouls’… That they’re ‘wrong’. Marude: I’ve let myself get washed by ‘Washuu’. Marude: Taking meals, all those actions. There’s nothing suspicious no matter where you look. Marude: There was nothing suspicious at all. But with the exception “of one thing”.
Marude: There was information that there was ‘something done’ to the ‘gate’. Marude: A system where it won’t do a false reaction to a Quinque… and also to certain individuals. Marude: I asked someone who was familiar to look it up.
Marude: The times when this ‘system’ reacted. Marude: …It reacted to the ‘Garden Graduates’ of the Zero Squad which Arima Kishou started. Marude: Qs Member Shao Jinri. And also when you Washuus pass thru.
Marude: The Washuus aren’t ‘just cooperating with Ghouls’… They are ‘Ghouls themselves’.
Yoshitoki turns around but his expression doesn’t change.
