I know that, but in :RE, the purpose of each arc is to help him gain bits and bits of his memories, for that to happen he actually needs to encounter someone he cares about who would play a major role in each arc.

Torso Investigation Arc: Nishiki (Memories flashes back to Kaneki)

Nutcracker Arc: He encounters Touka (kaneki tears up after taking his first sip of anteiku/re coffee)

Auction: Hinami (Most likely, since she's the only one in this arc at the moment who Kaneki cared about in the past.)
