I woke up much earlier than usual today. Normally, I can get back to sleep for some more shut eye, but then I recalled that Kaori is now gone. A crushing sense of loss woke me up completely.
Btw, the way Kousei ended his piece, tears dribbling down his cheeks but his head held high and his eyes to the sky, was the perfect topping for his performance. Kaori kept telling him that he was always looking down, and it took a final performance with her, an indelible goodbye, for him to break his bad habit and face the future.
I would ask for a harem end just to make up for all the pain Kousei has had to suffer in his youth, but we all know, as Kaori suggested, that he is nothing like his asshat friend Watari. I think Nagi would be able to support him best. She lives in his world but also has the spunk to keep him from sinking into depression. However, Tsubaki's devotion is hard to ignore. If it's simply about who cares for Kousei the most, only Kaori beats Tsubaki. The others love him more for his piano, but Tsubaki loves him knowing how pathetic he can be. I'm fine with KouseiXTsubaki, and that was what was suggested in the last episode.
