Intended to be a question

throw out to you, me, and at everyone.

Will you choose to choose who Taichi chose?

Will you stay and keep waiting for the stars to somehow align and the clock to chime at a certain time, hoping against hope that this status quo will still be the comfort that it has always been?

Or will you hold you head high and strive to walk through life to reach that ideal you pursue?

I won't reiterate what KAITO clearly stated in his afterword, if you haven't read it, please do. For it will give you an idea how this manga was gorgeously made. And why that ending left you with no choice but to scroll down thriugh the comments for comfort. To not be the only one thinking of glee, frustration, and relief.

This manga is beautiful. It tore the cages of my heart to free the bird frantically beating against my chest. It cleared my lungs out of the feathers clogging understanding, and giving me the clarity I longed.

It is true that not all conversations needed a resolution. This manga does not intend to push any definite answer that will overshadow the conclusion you reached to. Even now, I don't want to be smug and scream that my ship sailed. Because then, for people who are not ready to comprehend nor have any intent to acknowledge, it will come across as me undermining the worth of this manga.

KAITO presented us a variety of choices. Born from the variety of issues he raised. It is up to us how we interpret the open-ended questions that are still being debated in real life. We may not arrive to one conclusion after all in this lifetime. We may never will. But nontheless this story begets hope that they choices we make will leads us to living happily with confidence, just like the characters did.
