Lovely contribution, HairoAndy.

@UkakuKaguneBestKagune, I think you're making a mistake to so completely dismiss HairoAndy's thoughts. It's an excellent point about how we, the audience, form attaches based on which characters we have known longer.

And actually, no where in the series does it state that everyone around Sasaki was planted. Akira was made his mentor, but other than that there is absolutely no indication of anyone else being assigned to be around him.

Also, no one was threatened with being nice to him. You....remember Shimoguchi and Matsuri, right? Two people that openly mocked and belittled him in front of others? I think I know the origin of your misconception, which was Akira stating that Sasaki was to be "treated like a human".

That doesn't mean "be nice and pretend to be his friend", as we see that a lot of Investigators are cold or rude to him. What it means is exactly what it says, which is that the CCG is handling him as though he were a human rather than a Ghoul.

Humans have legal rights, but Ghouls do not. When the order was given for him to be treated as a human, it simply means that he is granted legal rights and allowed to live like a human. He can have employment with the CCG, can spend his free time as he pleases, earn a paycheck and whatever benefits are included, and has access to the same things as any other Japanese citizen.

That's it.
