Honestly, I think that moment opened the door for what happened later. Because we see, even before he had his vision of Hide......he was already starting to doubt things. He was already struggling with whether he really wanted to die or not, having now been offered a reason to go on living. (Hence why he said Touka's words were cruel.)

Just because it wasn't the proverbial nail in the coffin of his death wish doesn't mean it didn't accomplish anything. It doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing scenario.
