[ they have been over this, before. Kaneki worries about Hide, Hide worries about Kaneki. It goes back and forth like that, and Kaneki just keeps feeling more and more impotent, useless, unable to do anything, the more he sees Hide like this. Because Hide should never become involved with all of this no matter what; Kaneki has to protect him, his most important person.
And he can't. he can't because he is missing or maybe even dead, and Hide is still like this.
He looks down, closing his eyes and tries to replay everything in his mind ]
... I just... I want to protect you. [ and the more he tries, more he realizes he is just so weak. ]
What if I'm... not there? [ dead. ] You are getting into this and what if I'm already gone and I- [ kaneki takes his hand to his own forehead, touching it in a frustrated and helpless manner ] I'm sorry...
I want you safe. I want you safe, Hide. [ because he has seen so many bad things, done bad things too - and he can't live with the idea that Hide will be involved in those because of Kaneki ]
