^^^Again, you're giving her credit for things she didn't do.

Kaneki teared up, because at that moment to him there wasn't a 'later'. He was seeing his friends for the last time, of course he'd react this way.

Touka's words didn't make him start having doubts. She didn't make him realize there were people who needed him. She didn't make him realize he didn't want to die, Arima did with a single threat Kaneki feared to hear the most and with putting him in near-death experience. Her words didn't get through him, didn't 'break all his walls' like you think. Arima and Kaneki's Hide/himself (let's not forget if it weren't for what Hide's done for him, Kaneki'd be long dead, because he wouldn't have known how to help himself) were what pushed Kaneki in the opposite direction.
