Taisei stayed with uina because he grew dependent on her. It’s probably just me but taisei realized his feelings for kako very late (the field day and on Christmas) but since kako moved on he felt as though it’s fine for him to stay with uina. Why change and move on when what could’ve been is long gone? Most people prefer to stay in the same place because of the comfort they know will never disappear (fear of the unknown and all that).
But it’s honestly surprising though it should’ve been expected. When taisei woke up she was there, and that basically led to their relationship. It’s literally just trauma bonding. His decision to leave and come back to the track team is the biggest evidence of the attachment/guilt taisei has to uina.
In the beginning I thought this was going to take a supernatural route for some reason but it was just uina actually being demented and obsessed with kako (she was literally just some lower level form of a yandere).
If this was a longer story I wish it would touch upon so many things because this story could literally be made into a proper series. Taisei’s inner monologue before during and after everything (did he like kako before? Does he wish he could talk to kako now? Would everything fall apart if he decided leave uina in order to properly find himself [through track since it was his dream]?) , uina’s backstory (why she grew so obsessed with kako (obviously because she was lonely but it’s definitely something related to her home life) )and how she dealt with kako telling her she means nothing to her now (did she move on to try and better herself or is she still obsessed with her just dealing with it quietly), and sakumas home life in depth before and after her mothers death.
