Very well then!

(Mutsuki smile.)

Considering what transpired back then, and drawing paralells, we know that whatever is coming, will shatter Kaneki's world view and mental state completely.

(Recall the "I AM A GHOUL." line? Yeah...)

And whatever it is, it will hurt...a lot.

Now the question is, what does Kaneki have that could possibly hurt him to such degree that he would shatter?

...yeah.

Touka.

Back then, it was is own humanity and compassion that was lost in his misguided madness, which did him more harm than good...(curbstomping Jason aside...), and it took accidental friendly fire at a team mate in order to somehow snap in out of it...

Now, let's see how many death flags there is that has been risen for Touka.

- Admitting true feelings? Check.

- Being the target of a yandere? Check.

- Had Sex? (Massive check, it's the biggest death flag in the horror genre imaginable.)

- Tragic keepsake trading hands to her beloved for safekeeping? (Oh, so many people have died due to this one...)

- Loved by the protagonist? (Check. Just look at Code Geass and see how that went between a love interest and the main character...flag added.)

- It's a tragedy. (That alone is a massive flag, since if there's a ounce of happiness, a pound of misery is to be exchanged for it.)

Now, Kaneki has endured enough pain to not even be fazed by it anymore on a physical level...so the pain this time will be solely psychological, with Touka on the recieving end of the physical aspect.

Potential source?

Kidnapping by Mutsuki (Big Boss/ Killer Queen), Aura and the Ouggai (hencemen).

Method?

"Persuasive interrogation methods" approved by the CCG authority: (aka "pure, cold-blooded, sadistic, torture ala Tooru Mutsuki")

Timespan?

Months: (aka "enough for Touka's baby bump to start showing")

Location?

Cochlea: (Aka "Right next to Arata Kirishima's cell.")

Procedure: proceed until Kaneki shows up with Goat to save her.

For maximum pain, let Touka die in his arms at the one moment of hope where it looks like she can be saved.

End result: dead Touka, (optional: abducted child/dead child) and mindbroken Kaneki.

Odds for Kaneki's goal with GOAT (aka "build bridges between ghouls and humans") to survive this mindbreak?

1%

Now, let's see how much pain can be squeezed out of the coming arch...
