So, like everyone else, I was brokenhearted when I first read Itou-san, and continued to be throughout the hundreds and hundreds of subsequent reads!, but after reading episode 0, I don't feel as pessimistic anymore, but hopeful and elated. So it turns out that both Kyosuke's and Itou's destiny has been intertwined for longer than we thought, as if it was fated for them to meet and from that moment they have felt (independently) attracted to each other. The first time I finished this story, I was bawling my eyes out thinking it was fucking cruel how Kyousuke lost his memories of Itou, but now I realize that it doesn't matter. The "boss" is no longer a threat, and Kyousekey's and Itou's emotional connection is still there at the subconscious level, and will always be there. It is only a matter of time for Kyousekey to recuperate his memory; and even if he doesn't, again, it doesn't matter, because he's going to fall in love with Itou again, over and over and over; it's inevitable for the two of them to gravitate towards each other. So at this point I'm happy with the ending. Because of episode 0, instead of interpreting this as sad or melancholic, I now view it as a sign of hope, the promise of a new beginning, their shot at the happy ever after they deserve so much...shit, now I'm crying cause I feel happy at that thought...fuck, there's no escaping the feels on this one! （/TДT)/
