^ Kaneki had an almost identical time of happiness when he lived with Hinami and company. Sasaki's happy interactions with the Qunix are about the same as that time. Sasaki is superficially safer ( which is why Touka and Nishiki are leaving the situation alone, in my opinion ) then when he was Kaneki. Sasaki is living a lie, and seems to sense that everything will change when he knows the truth, so I think he knows he's living a lie. To me Sasaki constantly has a feeling of disquiet in the background. Sasaki is taking actions, like investigating the mask, that clearly show that he wants to learn the truth. Sasaki has happy moments but Kaneki's quest for a peaceful world was to lead to a lasting happiness. Sasaki is just snatching happy moments before he is killed by the CCG. Sasaki needs to remember what Kaneki knew and start working towards that peaceful world too in order to have lasting happiness.

Dalaios, the manga has hinted that Ayato has grown a lot, he did seem to learn something from Kaneki's 'lesson'. Hinami is easy to like. Ayato rejected his father's principles because his father could not protect his mother, Touka and him. Now, Ayato has to prove that his different way of life can protect the ones he cares for, and he is failing. To me the logical thing for character development is for Ayato to team up with Sasaki (who Ayato associates with his father's principles) to save Hinami.

Shuu already has a plan involving a CCG insider to make a jail break, Shuu would certainly expand the scope of the operation for Hinami.
