For me, in this chapter (74) everything Arima did and said was an attempt to make sure that Kaneki survives by any means necessary. Considering Kaneki's mental state, the only thing Arima could really do was to promise to kill his friends, since nothing else would have made him want to fight. Kaneki's goal with this mission was to protect them, after all. Now, as for the reason why Arima wants Kaneki to stay alive (and possibly grow stronger/test the limits to his abilities) so badly... of course there is genuine emotion between them. But there's also the possibility that V is watching all of this happen and they want Kaneki for some reason. What do you guys think?

(Personally I'm hoping Arima and Furuta are both working to take V down from the inside, but maybe that's just wishful thinking).
