^Maybe we should leave it to Hide to decide where to fit in & with what to be satisfied. You say "Hide swiftly puts ppl in their place when they overstep their boundaries", so why are you worried about him not getting what he deserves? According to you Hide will speak up or take action when Kaneki behaves ungrateful towards him.

It's not that I don't agree with your arguments, but the way Hide is described in your comments tends to look everything but what we compliment him for. Your comments would portray him as salty, frustrated & dissapointed if he were alive & engaged in the story at this point.

I'm sure you can understand this: Touka isn't Hide. But now for some time there is no Hide anymore according to Kaneki, so it's hard to think Kaneki wouldn't grow closer to Touka when she offers him that possibility. That is because being supported by someone is more important to Kaneki then how that person supports him. Hide might've warned & advised him about many things, but since he isn't here to remind Kaneki off that, Kaneki will switch to the support that does exist in the here & now, which is Touka.

So in the case that Hide would've been alive alongside both, I don't think things would've played out like you think it would. Right now you are putting the Hide you know into situations that developed probably partially because of his absence. That's why I think you should let Hide decide for himself, if he ever comes back and experience firsthand how Hide would react, instead of making an assumption about how he would react & what he would want. Maybe you're assumption is correct, but it's not possible to have a sensible discussion about it, I would just be disagreeing with your conjecture.
