What you've said is true. I won't argue about it. However, Kaneki as stated before in the manga, acts in a motherly way towards others. But in this case in particular, the relationship fleetingly changes from different sides.

As you said, sometimes it is more like a brother-sister relationship. At other times, it's like a mother-daughter relationship. But in chapter 142 things go further than that from Hinami's side. That is why I wanted to see if the same feeling could rise from Kaneki in a brief way at least (just like it happened with Hinami).

Otherwise, why would Ishida have bothered to draw a butterfly in the last panels of chapter 178? Although, it could be a sign to announce Kaneki's definitive death, as I said.
