My exact same reaction when I read this the first time, they didn't hold back in the tragedy.
I Also loved Tai and Ashura-Ou situationship xd (actually, I vibed with all the ships) CLAMP has an official doujinshi made by them were they have an old man yaoi relationship in a peaceful world lol, is Called "Shining Star" is here in mangago too.

I now have another love hate relationship with another story.
I feel like so many of this could’ve been preventable. Maybe this is why it’s best not to know what the future holds. Because if you do, it’ll just come true even more, although thankfully they broke it in the end, after everyone basically died…
Also I KNEWWWW ASHURA-OU (Ashura’s dad) AND THAT TENTEI DUDE HAD SMTH GOING ON WHEN WE SAW TENTEI KILL ASHURA-OU GET KILLED! LIKE WHAT WAS THAT PANELLLL THE EMOTION?!?!? LIKE WOAHHH and then the ending showed it all and im like “WOAHHHHH FORGET THE PLOT OR THE STORY, IM INVESTED IN THESE 2 INSTEAD.”
And ofc my nasty brain had to wonder did they actually get wild or not
