I think you guys are forgetting that even if his identity wasn't real as Haise, the bonds he formed are and not just with the Quinx. And though he is no longer their mentor, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about them anymore. The fact that he grieved together with them over Shirazu proved that. Also, I'm pretty sure the fact we have his resignation listed on the same page is hinting that he resigned not because he stopped caring but because despite his harsh words to Urie, he really does blame himself most of all and no longer saw himself fit to be their mentor.

ALSO, as I've said numerous times the past several months, Kaneki gained an advantage he didn't have before when he became part of the CCG. And now that he's an Associate Special Class, he's got an even better advantage. From here, he can actively pursue Aogiri and such

I am also convinced that him going off on his own is related to Shirazu's body being stolen. There was so much emphasis placed on their relationship all the way to the end that there's no way Urie is the only one who wants to get the body back.

So, let's wait and see, shall we?
