This is all still very build-up-y but I still find it enjoyable enough. At least Kaneki is doing stuff now, we just have to wait for them to explain himself. It'll be something like dropping the pacifist act and actually needing to take action in order to protect the people he loves or something anyway.

While I root for Touka x Kaneki, I'm enjoying their lack of interaction more. Back when they did talk, it was always Touka verbally abusing him. That not only highlights Kaneki's weakness, but also brings out our frustration towards it. Now she's brooding silently and he's working without a word to them. This quiet mysteriousness is more romantic than anything they've done thus far.

By far the most mysterious is Kaneki's friend though. After a season and more, I still don't know what his deal is. He's not afraid of ghouls. He just appears completely altruistic in helping his friend. People like that either have an ulterior agenda, or they die a horrible death.

Now that you mention it, that's absolutely true. I suppose Touka now knows Kaneki can do something finally and isn't weak anymore, but on the other hand he's gone and she can only imagine what he might be able to do. Of course the cafe isn't a proponent of heavy action, but I reckon the ghouls have in their genes a desire to be strong. That might have been everything that was needed to push their relationship forward, as it hardly seemed to be going anywhere back when Kaneki was weak and Touka was verbally abusing him any chance she got. Poor Hinami, though. Kaneki might have been the most important of the people she had left.
