And you're absolutely right, Sam. I'm guessing you saw that meta I reblogged, discussing how Kaneki and Touka both seem to have the most amazing ability to repeatedly hit on each other's issues?

Because they really do managed to keep putting their feet in it, proverbially. Touka with her habit of resorting to anger or lashing out, which runs afoul of Kaneki's childhood of abuse. And Kaneki with repeatedly keeping her in the dark, or leaving her behind while justifying it as for her own good really hits on how her own family has repeatedly left her.

It's kind of a complete mess, but hopefully they'll reach a point of finally being able to be honest with each other. And have a conversion where their own personal hang-ups don't end up with them hurting the other, even unintentionally.
