^Ofcourse you are right.

In itself it's an unecessary scene, whoever does it, but the fact that he still takes a few extra panels for this little reunion interaction, is a means to show us Kaneki's bond with Re hasn't wavered one bit. And probably to reassure a lot of Touka fans that she hasn't given up on Kaneki as opposed to what she claimed was best for his sake.

Touka is a major character after all, no matter how black and white the opinions about her are.
