It is a matter of time. The way I see it, Haise and Kaneki will merge because as we already know, Haise is Kaneki just as Kaneki is Haise. For Haise, Kaneki represents his ghoul side like Rize did in the original story. When Kaneki was first turned into a half-ghoul in the original story, he rejected his ghoul side because he wanted to hang on to his humanity. However, after being tortured for ten days (and hallucinating Rize as a coping mechanism) he embraced his ghoul side and threw away his humanity. It went from one extreme to the other. Now as Haise, he has once again embraced his human side and is rejecting his ghoul side (of course the whole being eliminated by the CCG if he ever uses his ghoul powers plays a big part in that too). He can't continue to go on like that. In order to have balance, he has to embrace both sides of himself (his human and ghoul side). How can he ever possibly try to end the cycle of vengeance and violence if he too can't accept that he's both human and ghoul. As Yoshimura told him, he does have a place in both worlds. Once he truly accepts himself, he will have balance between his two selves like yin and yang. First, he has to break himself out of the birdcage that he's enclosed himself in. Those are my thoughts anyway.
