The war flashbacks to Yamori would be too great and both would die as a result of Kaneki being in a trauma induced coma.

In all seriousness though, I've been wondering if something like this will eventually happen since Yamori brought up the whole choice thing and I don't it's had a payoff yet (if it's intended to happen).

This is a tough question. I think this might also depend on Touka and Hide themselves and how they might die. If it's like the thing with Yamori and one would die while the other is spared, I can see both Hide and Touka offering themselves. Touka knows how important Hide is to Kaneki and what him dying might do to him. She might also still feel guilty about her past and rationalize it's for the best. We already know Hide would die for Kaneki's wellbeing. He also knows that Touka is a friend of his and wouldn't want to see her die. They'd both have his best interest in mind and do what they'd think is easier on him.

If it's a situation where neither Touka nor Hide had any control, there's no possible way for a third option, and it's all up to Kaneki? Oof. It'd destroy him either way, but I'd go with him saving Hide.
