In terms of Touka's choice and whether it makes her a hypocrite, I do understand where your point of view comes from. I don't entirely agree, since I think the two situations are difficult to truly compare. I still think it's a little unfair to call her a hypocrite, because her primary crime has been Inaction. But that inaction is justified, based on what little we know that she knows. She knows he's got a stable life and people he cares about, as well as what Nishiki probably told her about their run-in. (The whole "I called him by name and he had a complete, screaming mental breakdown.")

The real question is whether she'd respond to him like Tsukiyama did, if he asked her. That, I think, would be the fair assessment of whether she's being a hypocrite or not. I'd like to think, if he asked her to tell him, she would relent and tell him what he wanted to know. But we haven't seen yet whether that would be what she'd really do.

In terms of her changes as a character, I'd agree that it's subtle. I don't think she's unrecognizable as Touka, since the core elements were already beginning to develop prior to the end of the series. She'd calmed down and I think the loss of Anteiku was a moment that kind of left her deeply shaken to the core. She broke down and faced her mistakes, and what it meant to live on for the sake of others and to live with her guilt.
