I wish people wouldn't use the term "sociopath", especially in such an incorrect fashion. Mutsuki doesn't seem to have Anti-Social Personality Disorder, or any other related condition.

Mutsuki and Kaneki are both products of abuse, but there was a key factor that sent them down different paths. Kaneki had Hide, a supportive and caring person to help him survive his ordeal.

Mutsuki had no one, growing up abused and exploding into violence at a young age. Afterwards, Mutsuki disassociated and fled from these truths. Worse, instead of going to a facility for treatment as is typical of Child Killers, Mutsuki ended up with the CCG We know from Juuzou's back story, they do NOT provide psychological care and Mutsuki was instead bullied by others, and allowed to carry out violent coping behaviours.

Ironically, Sasaki himself ended up becoming Mutsuki's first positive relationship in life. And Mutsuki had, prior to this arc, had plenty of character development. Mutsuki went from scared and meek, to a confident and capable Investigator that was fighting as Urie's partner during operations and protecting Saiko.

But now we've got negative development, learning Mutsuki is insane.
