Really, like the majority of the other characters in this series, I don't think Arima would be so black and white. My feelings about Arima's and Sasaki's relationship is similar to Harostar's. I think Arima is a lonely person who found someone who he legitimately has things in common with and whose company he enjoys. He probably didn't start off with genuine feeling though, but grew attached to Sasaki despite himself.

However, Arima still has a job to do and probably is manipulating Sasaki. To what extent and for what purpose exactly (if there are alterior motives besides using Sasaki as the CCG's attack dog) is unknown. Ultimately, things will probably turn difficult where Arima has to choose between loved ones and duty.
