Well, Kaneki isn't even near a fatherly figure around Touka, and she sees no sign of her dad in him. But Arata and Kaneki are similar in the sense that they both love books and they're both incredibly kind, also willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.

She didn't want him to leave because she didn't want Kaneki to lose his 'kindness' and she already knew he was slowly breaking from the inside, like losing his mind and stuff. You're on the right track but I don't think that's it.
