^ Yeah, I think besides any possible influence by CCG.....he really is afraid of his past because he knows just enough to know how much pain is there. After he escaped Aogiri, he was really not alright and spiraled further down the hole with his cannibalism and power-seeking. By the end, he was completely out of his mind -- hallucinating, having all kinds of terrible thoughts, and generally suffering so much.

I've always wondered if becoming Haise was less about the physical injuries, and more about his decision to "rest for a while". That he repressed his memories because he simply wasn't able to endure them any longer.

And that's what really worries me about him "becoming" Kaneki again -- that he'll be back where he was, too broken to function. I honestly don't think he could handle regaining all his memories at once, and it would result in something horrible.
