No one actually dies like that in a few hours. Remember terry schiavo? It took her 13 days to die- without nourishment of any kind. I've seen heart patients give up, too; the final hours take forever. Besides, Toume says nothing of a funeral, and Minase wanted Kazuna gone anyway. For all we know, Chizuna is on life support in the Takashiro clinic. He did call pretty early in the morning.........hey, come on! I'm trying to be optimistic here! umm……..Who’s to say Chizuna died?

Granted, the 'memory loss' thing is a little convenient but recovery of memory isn't ruled out - Yaegashi, the Edas and Minase are fully aware that Kazuna could have flashbacks in the same way that Chizuna did, possibly with similar results. ">>> Both of them are utterly devoted to their friends but for the most part are unable to help them in any way; No. They have given Kazuna another chance." True. However, Kazuna makes a conscious effort to return to his normal life. Maybe I was a little hasty in saying his family and friends could do nothing at all, but in the end Kazuna has to decide for himself whether to shut himself away or not. Only then will he be able to make use of their support to look ahead. The ending could have been better but it leaves a suitable amount of uncertainty but hope as well. The whole series (for me at least) poses the question of how individuals face up to adversity, which the ending does reasonably well. Thanks for the feedback! Interesting comments there, people.

">>> Both of them are utterly devoted to their friends but for the most part are unable to help them in any way; No. They have given Kazuna another chance." True. However, Kazuna makes a conscious effort to return to his normal life. Maybe I was a little hasty in saying his family and friends could do nothing at all, but in the end Kazuna has to decide for himself whether to shut himself away or not. Only then will he be able to make use of their support to look ahead. The ending could have been better but it leaves a suitable amount of uncertainty but hope as well. The whole series (for me at least) poses the question of how individuals face up to adversity, which the ending does reasonably well. Thanks for the feedback! Interesting comments there, people. Granted, the ‘memory loss’ thing is a little convenient but recovery of memory isn’t ruled out - Yaegashi, the Edas and Minase are fully aware that Kazuna could have flashbacks in the same way that Chizuna did, possibly with similar results.

Actually it is not a mystery. Their father hid the death of their mother to not be bothered with police.

>>> Both of them are utterly devoted to their friends but for the most part are unable to help them in any way;

No. They have given Kazuna another chance.
