I feel you may be misinterpreting some things I wrote. When I said “she doesn’t love them equally, it’s impossible for that to happen”, I meant it in a “You always have a preference” way. For example, you can claim to love all your children equally, but that’s a lie. Everyone is different and there are some people you get along better than others. It’s normal, it doesn’t mean you don’t love them. And, if we analyze things thoroughly, Touka and Hinami only knew each other for about four months before Hinami met Kaneki. It’s not that much time (especially considering Hinami would only eat and then leave).

Using that logic, then siblings can’t be friends? Family is an important aspect in someone’s life. When Hinami lost her parents, was “adopted” by Kaneki and Touka, and then saw her “stepparents divorce”, of course she ended having to choose one of them. But it doesn’t mean she doesn’t love the other. If you notice, Kaneki refused to say goodbye to Hinami, in both situations (he scrams before he can meet Hinami again after the Aogiri raid and goes headfirst into the Anteiku raid). There’s a reason why Hinami was the one who was the trigger for Sasaki to start facing his past and accepting ghouls. Hinami is a fairly complex character, especially because she’s so young. But I don’t want to turn this into about her so… Basically these are why I think Hinami is as dear to Kaneki as Hide and Touka.

I apologize if I may have sounded harsh (not my intention), but we’re entering some zones where we’re talking about the same scene, but have different interpretations and it ends being pointless since it makes us go in circles. That’s why I immediately jumped to the “Agree to disagree”. But if you want to continue this discussion, I won’t stop you :P
