I really appreciate how Kinugasa thinks about relationships in this story. He’s not against romance at all, he just doesn’t want it to be the cheap, predictable kind where everything ends with a confession under the moonlight. For him, relationships are a tool for character development. They’re the key that helps Ayanokoji grow from a machine into someone who can actually feel. Horikita isn’t just a love interest, she’s his catalyst, his mirror, his final exam.I understand that many Kiyozune fans want a clear confirmation, something sweet and straightforward, but that would go against everything this series stands for. Kinugasa is not writing a typical romance anime, he’s writing a psychological drama where emotions are earned through struggle, trust, pain and time. The beauty of Kiyozune is not in a single confession scene, it’s in the slow, painful, beautiful process of two broken people learning to rely on each other.So don't lose hope, but also don't expect a fairytale ending. Expect something deeper, something earned. And that, in my opinion, is much more valuable than a simple 'they lived happily ever after'
