@ Dayne Well Kaneki idealizes Hide. And Hides example of showing Kanekis worth is sth that impressed him again to a great extend. However he found the ... weakness (?) of that example or a way to twist it to justify his own death wish.

You could say (I'm assuming here like Kaneki that Hide died to understand his thoughts) by sacrificing himself for someone who is valuable (Kaneki) Hide devalued his own life. You could see Hides death not just as an example of an extreme friendship but also as himself willingly getting killed to save another - which is what kaneki is trying to do right now.

Bc if Hide - one of his ideals - did this it a heroic way to die in Kanekis opinion. Its okay to do that bc Hide did it too. It is okay bc his "saviour" did that.

It is okay for kaneki to die this way literally bc hide did that too. So this is a good way to do that.

I hope this counts as justification instead of imitation? haha im sorry if not ^^'

Actually - I just had a thought maybe in his next break down he'll hallucinate Hide and realize it is not okay to die this way, telling Hide he didnt wanted Hide to sacrifice himself for him, he didnt want Hide to die - that he wanted Hide to live - and that would be a point were Kaneki may starts to understand that sacrificing himself over and over again is noght either.
