I think people are misunderstanding them, and falsely believing that they don't care or merely see Takizawa as a monster. Which isn't the case, when we saw Houji weep while giving the order and Akira trying to explain things to him.

It wasn't that they see him as a monster. But rather that neither of them felt there was anything more they could do, based on the things Takizawa had already done against the CCG.

Takizawa talks about being a hero, and doesn't understand why they won't accept him. Akira, always the person to call out his mistakes, tries to make him realize his prior actions have made that dream impossible. His current actions can't erase what he's already done, the comrades he's killed and the enemy he's made of the CCG itself.

I mean, mental healthcare in Japan is already a mess. Houji and Akira are both painfully familiar with how the CCG handles mentally-disturbed killers that are human -- having seen how it failed to help Juuzou, and continues to treat him badly in spite of his illustrious service. They are also familiar with how the CCG handles ghouls.

In terms of Akira going rogue, remember that she's a legacy. Her parents were both Investigators killed by ghouls, and her mother's family have been in the organization for generations. It's been her entire life since childhood. In Japanese culture, duty and family honor are key elements of a person's life. Simply turning her back on her family's legacy, on generations of duty, and basically betraying her parents' sacrifices......is something that would not come easily to her.
