@ anon - thanks for your comment i rly appreciate it

@dayne Its a good point the idea of touka and hide working together (as of chapter 118 i enjoyed their relationship actually a lot) but its simple its bc touka naturally had to not keep close to hide as well. It was easier with Yoriko bc shes not as cunning, but hide is still a human. Add to that that she knew how important Hide was to Kaneki, she probably wouldnt pull anything to put him into danger just like Kaneki wouldnt do such a thing with Yoriko.

Same for Hide he worked for the CCG already at this time, getting close to ghouls at that point could have had endangered Touka/Anteiku as well. From the Jail game we got that he still visited Anteiku but I'm guessing he did that mostly for info gaining and probably part due to missing Kaneki so he searched for a place where ppl where who knew him. He did not go there to team up with them.

Leaves the point: Why did Hide do all of this alone and didnt search for help?

Personally I think thats an habit he gre into. Just like Kaneki grew into keeping up his self sacraficial behaviour and supressing his needs - i think Hide also supressed his needs in another way to favor Kaneki and additionally he developed kind of a responsibility for him. Bc lets face it ever since Kanekis mother died and before he joined Anteiku nobody but Hide cared for Kaneki. And even before that he already intervined in a way when classmated bullied Kaneki. I think it might be Hide didnt ask for help from anyone bc it isnt something he has learned, he was always the only one that took care of Kaneki and that since childhood so this mindset probably grew onto him to a point where its natural for him to keep shouldering Kanekis issues too and deal as good as he can with them for him. In a way thats as well self sacraficial behaviour. Just like Kanekis (lol they are actually alike a lot).

And im not upset bc I think Kaneki could have prevented Hide from dying im upset bc he never made an effort to know how hide was doing while he was away - hell he didnt even tell hide hes still alive he was officially missing - meanwhile every other friend of kaneki knew he was alive doing stuff and he run after touka making sure she gets a birthdaygift, kept shuu banjou and hinami close. Thats what angers me hide could have died  anytime in the timeskip and Kaneki wouldnt even ever have known. And after kaneki regained his memories? He never made an attempt to find out what the fuck happend to hide bc for all what he knew Hide certaintly wasnt supposed to be in the sewers in the midst of a CCG raid. No he only was obsessed with the thought of dying and making the best of it (which was practically also spitting on hides last wish on top of all of it) this is what im upset abt. Kaneki showed more effort of any ackknowledgement whatsoever towards pretty much everyone but hide. He at least could have had kept an eye on him from afar so that I as a reader actually get the idea that he worried abt hide and still caring abt him. This way everytime he mentioned hide it were just empty words for me. And this frustates me a lot.
