But the part in particular is:

"A failure of a God. She laughed and squeezed my throat. It's always like this. Only people dull to pain hurt me. She truly loved me. Only she didn't know how to love. What a stupid God."

Eto is the only character to refer to herself as a God in chapter 43. I've been lurking around and it looks like Kaneki and Eto are tied with a [|red string of fate] on volume 5 of TG:RE, but that string is choking Kaneki (she laughed and squeezed my throat.) A less symbolic variation of it is [|here.] Eto can't really recognize when she hurts someone she loves as she's never known real affection before. Also, the person who wrote that analysis I linked pointed out that Eto has the red string tied to The Hanged Man's (Kaneki is the Hanged Man) ankle on the cover of her novel (it's red in the anime at least, and fits the description in the wiki.) So yeah, she really does love him. She just can't express it because of her background.
