Like I said, the kinds of things you want to see happen really kind of.....go against everything that Kaneki ever stood for as well as the hopes and influences of his Anteiku family.

It would betray the faith Yoshimura placed in him, by entrusting him with the truth. It would betray Touka's faith in him to find his way back after being "lost". It would betray Hide's trust that he was still Kaneki, in spite of everything. It would betray Amon's respect in him as someone special.

The circumstances of their meeting don't matter. The bonds between Sasaki and the Quinx are just as genuine as any formed at Anteiku. It was a group of people tossed together, forced to figure things out, and learning to trust and care for each other. He wasn't given a choice in being their mentor, but he was the one to decide to act as their surrogate parent.

Seriously, the whole "Anteiku vs Quinx" thing is really a disservice to the story and characters. It ignores that Kaneki is capable of caring for more than one group of people. He's capable of caring for both groups, and just randomly offing his loved ones would be beyond out of character.
