^^^ That was pretty much what I ment Anon. I was responding to the Anon who wanted to know why we didn't want Sasaki to stay happy, like he is right now as Sasaki. ;)

I don't think the amount Kaneki was suffering post Aogiri is directly related to how happy he was, if anything he may have treasured those happy times more. Of course he was happy snuggling on the couch reading a book with Hinami, or watching movies with all the gang. Was it a secure happiness? Or a lasting happiness? No. That was what Kaneki was trying to work towards. I think Kaneki was using the wrong methods, but that was his goal.

When I look at Sasaki now, I see the happiness in his life as the same type as Kaneki had post Aogiri. Of course, he's happy fixing meals for Saiko. Sasaki is saner and is more grounded then Kaneki, but he is not searching for any kind of solution, he is a prisoner of the system. Sasaki has no influence on policy in the CCG. Everyone, who says that Sasaki is happier forgets that his job is to kill ghouls. I have no doubt that he has killed many ghouls in the past three years, and that it is a terrible burden to him psychologically. Sasaki is finding happiness where he can, just like Kaneki did post Aogiri.
