Currently I'm assuming hes scratching his face bc he feels nervous/uncomfortable abt what hes abt to tell Kaneki /lead him too. (it is rly hard to tell though since hides habit was never explizitly stated)

If we can take some of the info from chapter 68 as true (as in hide knew abt Hide having to fight Arima to stay alive) then it was in my opinion probably bc of that that he scratched his face - bc he probably didnt wanted to sent Kaneki in Arimas way but since there was no other option for kaneki .-.

" I ... want to help you (by sending you off to the reaper bc i think for whatever reason that youll manage to proof your lifes value)" or sth like that xD It sure sounds like a weird plan, probably everybody else would have tried to get Kaneki somehow out of the ward (despite everything being blocked and therefore it wouldnt have worked) instead of sending him to encounter the death in persona. But imo it turned out to be the right choice after all bc Kaneki did survive and :re was possible so ye for our great mastermind Hide \o/
