Akira is the best "mom" Kaneki has ever had regardless of the circumstances. I understand people not liking the CCG, but I've never been a big fan of the idea that Kaneki would completely drop his CCG friends for his ghoul friends when push comes to shove. It seems to defeat the purpose of having him in this predicament in the first place. He loves his pre amnesia friends and his post amnesia friends and is in a position where he has to make tough decisions.

Givin their history, I wouldn't be surprised if Touka and Akira butt heads since Touka is Mado's killer and Akira still wants revenge. Kaneki is surely to get caught up in the middle, but I reckon the situation will be more complex than Touka "talking sense" into Kaneki and somehow getting him to kill Akira. Touka is his best friend in the ghoul world and Akira is his surrogate mother. Touka helped him adapt to the ghoul world and has a home waiting for him and Akira helped him readapt to the human world and tries to make his place at the CCG more comfortable. He has reason to care about Akira and she's not "less worthwhile" because she's not one of his older friends. I've no idea how things will ultimately play out, a sacrifice may even be the result, but I don't think it'll be a matter of "talking sense" into Kaneki, not in this way.
