This chapter made Furuta a bit more likable for me.

I liked how he was talking about himself not only Kaneki when he was raging on. The difference is that even though Kaneki 'failed and failed' he gained friends, comrades and happiness. Furuta 'won' everything but what did he get from that? Nothing.

Furuta was a normal innocoent child but never really had a chance to gain happiness because of being born in the Washuu family. He could either just go along with everything and eventually get tired like Arima or rebel against it like Eto. Furuta and Eto also share some similarities but also distinct differences. One being that Eto had someone that deeply loved her (Yoshimura) even though she never realized that herself. And second that she could have had a choice. Eto was free and could have done whatever she wanted but chose not to. At the end both of them are dead and could have never had a 'happy end'. There is no redemption for them after everything they did. But again there are differences. Eto carved the way to break the birdcage and might not even minded dying. Maybe in the end she 'got what she wanted'. Furuta will die and will not have achieved anything (if he doesn't have some trump card but that doesn't really change the fact that he never found happiness).
