If the guy didn't tell Nanao about Souji's past, and if he wasn't given some time away, he might've made an inconceivable, irreversible mistake of a decision. Just thinking about what would have happened makes everything feel cold and somber, hopeless and regretful.
I'm grateful that at least they managed to have a happy ending. When he ran away, When they found each other at a crucial moment, and when they made the decision that's allowed them to have a better, brighter future. All of that were delicate turning points that allowed this story to end on a happier note.
