this song could apply to lots of characters in TG, not just Kaneki and Hide. Arimaa is the one i'm getting at the most though.

My theory is that he wanted for so long to be able to 'let someone go' after years of senseless killing. When he met and formed a Bond with Kaneki, Arima wanted him to remember him as the father figure he saw him as, not as the reaper of the CCG. he never let anyone understand him, not even Kaneki because he wanted to hide the fact that he was the One Eyed King, leading him into 'endless solitude'.

When he finally does let Kaneki live, he stops being the Reaper and fulfils his ultimate wish, to... die in style, just like Kaneki wanted to do himself up until that point. Arima wanted to save Kaneki from those demons that had consumed Arima himself, demons that he had let into his heart so that someone who could be the 'hope of the world' would come.

Now, Arima would be remembered for who he truly was in Kaneki's heart: a good man who was just another victim of this twisted birdcage.

this is just an idea so anyone who wants to voice their opinions please do so.
