^ I disagree, Anon. Sasaki isn't really much different from Kaneki, because he devotes himself to the people he cares about. That devotion has been a constant part of him, and has simply shifted to the people currently around him. That.......really shouldn't be surprising, that's a natural and normal thing.

Beyond that, I think the changed attitude towards Takatsuki's novels shows how much he's matured. While Kaneki remained focused on the "beautiful words" of whatever it was he read, Sasaki has grown enough that he can look beyond them and understand the mind of the person that wrote said words. He was able to deduce so much about Eto simply from reading her books, when her Takatsuki persona is known for being very cheerful and friendly. He saw through all the proverbial masks she wears, and saw the real person.
