this has nothing to do with yaoi? even if there as a confirmed same sex pairing in tg - it wouldnt neccessarily need to be categorized as yaoi bc for that the romantic developement would have to be a main theme in the series. and romance isnt a main theme in tg at all. (for example shingeki no kyoujin has a confirmed femalexfemale couple as far as im informed - is it yuri bc of that? no)

also for ray of light and humanity its so far still all narrowing towards hide, since hes the only friend kaneki had in his life before he turned into a half ghoul, who knew him as a human through and through. touka, amon, hinami etc all only get to know him bc he turned into a half ghoul. also as far as we have seen hide has had the only entirely positive influence on kaneki (which i admit still can change but i doubt it).

for touka she is still important in kanekis story bc she is with :re providing a home in the ghoul world for kaneki, taking the place anteiku had - while hide is providing his home in the human world.

and kaneki needs both to find balance and fulfill his bridge roll in the ghoul-human conflict.
