"Touka greeting Kaneki and choosing to interact with him when he’s attempting to follow through with his plans to die for someone else by smiling at him and telling him she’ll see him later is so important to me.

She’s not sacrificing herself to save him, she’s not mad at him for what he’s doing, she’s not trying to stop him. She’s telling him that people already love him, that they want to see him again, that he doesn’t need to die for them to care about him, and that they would be sad if he died.

She’s giving him hope that he will survive his seemingly impossible fight against Arima, and come back to see the people who love him again.

And it gets to him, he’s shaken by it and crying because of it. It wasn’t enough to change his path, because he’s already on it, already standing in front of Arima and already fighting. But maybe it’s enough to change the outcome, if he decides to take the hope that Touka offered him." This is from tumblr and you are right, that Touka is giving Kaneki hope :)
