Some little thoughts about Touka's character and all the discussion about Sasaki's memories.

We haven't seen much of Touka in :re. We don't know what she is up to or who she was visiting in the hospital. I think this is simply because she has already reached a great level of development. I think she is basically "waiting" for other characters to develop too. When Tsukyiama. Haise, maybe Ayato and Hinami will get some development and mature I think we will be shown more of her.

About the matter of Haise's memories I think the matter is complicated.

From a general point of view I think that until Sasaki doesn't remember he can't actually choose a side. I mean to choose he should remember both his past lives and families. Only with that he could take an active and coscient choice.

The problem is that it's not a single person who has to force the memories in him. I am not an expert but when a person has an amnesia he should go through teraphy and should be helped to regain as much memories as he can. Still the CCG is doing the opposite. They are forcing an identity in him and are presenting Kaneki as another person an evil one who Sasaki has to refuse and to fight against.

Touka's choice for me makes sense because it is realistic. It's not that she could bring back his memories just by talking with him. With how many people has Haise spoken? Hinami, Shuu, Uta, Nishiki... And he has recovered very little and confused memories of his past.

Starting a relationship with him is dangerous for both parties as Shuu has noticed.

What's more, as readers we perfectly know Haise's memories will return, but it's not something obvious in-universe. In real life some people who have amnesia never regain their memories. So saying that Touka's choice doesn't make sense is wrong. Surely it could be not the best choice, but it's a valid one in this moment.
