As much as I love their relationship, it can be a bit of a double-edged sword. Lately the "moral" so to speak is that living too much for another person can be detrimental or not beneficial in the long run. We see this with Takizawa who decided to live for Amon and Akira, but he's still empty because he gave up on himself. After regaining his memories, Kaneki started on his suicidal binge partly because of Hide. Kaneki also regained the will to live with Hide's help, but his main issue right now is that he doesn't have a purpose imo. Kaneki is sort of going through the motions and living for...well, everyone but himself. He knows that he needs to find a purpose, but doesn't really seem to know how.

Hide coming back has a big possibility of making Kaneki feel better, but the initial reaction will probably be treating him as another person to live for. Whether or not he actually has the ability to help Kaneki find a purpose is ?????? But his input probably would be beneficial, even if indirectly.
