for me, if makoto chooses hokuto, it could metaphorically mean that hes moving on from the past (shusuke) and I think thats what the author is leaning towards more. it pains me since i love both love interests and i want them to be a throuple but i think ultimately hokuto will be the one makoto choses (im literally die hard for childhood best friend and sports angst trope tho fuckkk)
