You are confounding comfort and support here. There are things that love gives that friendship will never be able to give. Actually, EtoKen is my second favourite ship after ShuuNeki I'll quote a fellow retard from Reddit "Gourmet X Kaneki.  There is nothing I want more than for either Noro or the Gourmet to end up on top, now I say Gourmet x Kaneki what I really mean is the Gourmet devouring Kaneki. The guy has clear goals unlike almost every other character." You gradually learn how to love or be loved while living, love is like a talent that is here and that need to be built correctly. The series lacks of maturity, yes it does,in the relational way, interactions etc etc. The goal for Sui to get done is to improve that part of his writing. Touka was created for the purpose that there would be someone obscene over Kaneki, obsessive, that is waiting for him, that believe in him. She is the one waiting for him, the one supposedly waiting at home. To start the story. It is more than hinted that while both were working on the coffee shop they start to fall for each other, in an individualistic way. In the first part, their loves were different from one to the other, Touka was immature, and so Kaneki became, in the end of the aogiri, arc, more mature. Hence he told her that he doesn't want her to join him, and etc etc. Mostly everything had a romantic purpose behind it. Touka plays the romantic role, Hide plays the best friend role, Shuu, him, has a. Cook role? jk
