That storage room chat between them showcased this best, where free from fantasy both simply talked, no longer needing the comfort of each other’s touch. Having found what they wanted, there was no more need for the roleplay, or even to stay lovers. Naturally such a setup does not account for change, so when Hanabi and Mugi grew as characters, the reason for their relationship came into question. Their chance meeting and discovery of similar situations conceived of a synergistic relationship, where mutual loneliness, longing, and a desire for comfort were patched over through roleplay both craved physical attachment, and their relationship provided that. Both characters were initially lost and adrift, uncertain what they wanted, let alone how to obtain it. As Hanabi reflected on, her relationship with Mugi was originally one of “need”. Some may think it strange, but personally I found this bittersweet ending a fitting conclusion for both characters. The stars this week though were of course Hanabi and Mugi, who did actually decide-mutually-to let their relationship go. After all the pain and struggle for the cast to reach this point, I think it was a well-deserved glimpse into the relief and happiness coming from the various resolutions reached over the course of the show. Every character surprisingly showed up-if only for a moment-from a proud and graceful Moka to a short haired Sanae and a noticeably tempered Akane. Kuzu’s finale certainly was a low key affair, passing off any further conflict or drama for a period of tranquil self-reflection.
