Mmmm I am not so sure he is in such a denial state as you put it.

The way I see it he was refusing his past completely when he met Nishiki, but after meeting Hinami he has been more open minded about it.

In the Christmas chapter he said Kaneki had many ghouls friends so he knows Kaneki had people he cared about. The problem is that Haise keeps considering himself as a different person than Kaneki and I think that is also what was ingrained into him. Do you remember when Akira questioned him after Serpent's incident? When he loses control CCG asks him WHO he is. So the CCG itself consider Haise as a human and Kaneki as a ghoul.

Also I think it's not true that he lets little things go in his way during his investigation. He can't find data and can't ask Hinami too much. What is he expected to do? He tried asking Shuu and didn't receive any answer. He could actually ask Uta, but maybe he doesn't trust him too much (luckily), we don't know. Also, Haise's life currently isn't revolved only around finding out who Kaneki was, he has to mentor the Quinx, to lecture academy's students and to conduct investigations.

You are surely right about saying that he hasn't been decisive about discovering his past, but I think it's normal and in character. Even Kaneki in TG closed his eyes in front of a lot of things which were obvious before being tortured by Aogiri. By obvious things I mean the strange behaviour of Kanou and the fact that his incident wasn't an incident. I understand that you find his behaviour somehow annoying, sometimes I find him annoying too, but I found Kaneki annoying as well for similar reasons, also kaneki in the beginning had far more prejudices against ghouls than Haise has now.

On a final note I also agree completely on what you said about Kaneki's life not being only suffering and madness and about the CCG and its relationship with Haise. Sorry this turned int oa very long post.
