The question was rhetorical. :P

Eh, I think this scene looks romantic when you isolate it from the rest of the conversation. The conversation as a whole is about Kaneki's motivation to go off alone to join Aogiri and play the role of the "brooding, tragic hero". Touka thinks he's full of shit being okay with doing everything alone and saying it's for the sake of everyone else. He keeps up the act about what he's doing as completely selfless, but his tell gives him away. Which is why she blows up on him so bad. She saw through his BS, reinforcing the notion that he's being selfish and putting himself through this for no reason.

I overall never really found this scene to be all the "romantic".
