Saki just waits for him. Until: - he shows up (unlikely)
- she settles for Osugi, who really does care for her (more likely)
- she happens to fall in love with someone else (most likely)
I disagree that the feeling was mutual. Although she was swept off her feet by a handsome dashing mysterious figure who came into her life just when she was dissatisfied and looking for a way out, he really is just a friendly guy who loves everybody.
She may have felt it was fate and his deep feelings for her that kept him returning and holding out his hand to her, but really, like a cat, he only showed up when he needed something from her. He would have gone to anybody else if it was more convenient and not given her a second thought.
He is a great man on a great (if nebulous) mission and has no time for anything that would interfere with that mission. |
It is true that he is focused on his mission but in the season why would he even bother trying to have her come over to his place, go through all of his troubles for her... and most importantly kiss her to begin with? There was no reason to keep her around, personally I feel that if he wanted to use someone else he would have but he kept her there... That's why the ending bothered me, because people just aren't that friendly to begin with, and if they are, they don't kiss you lol IDK about you guys but even girls I'm close friends with I don't invite them over my place late at night nor do I kiss them.

But hands down this is one of my fav anime.

Like Anna, I too am a hopeless romantic and am constantly shut down by the Japanese creators lol Either it never works or someone dies... why must they torment us with such depressing endings?! Quite frankly I think him not coming back to her is just another sad ending that the Japanese love to do
