I watched the anime back the when I was in middle school I think and I came back now to reread everything. I basically had stopped cause I didn’t want to read the end but I finally did and it has such a melancholic feel. The idea that they leave the shrine, that it’s really the end of the adventure it just kind of makes me want to cry. It’s their ending and the ending of the manga but it also feels like the ending of an entire pan of life. It’s still an amazing story but goshhh it kills me.
Just on a side note : I don’t like that haircut on grown up tomoe like please no
I know she’s traumatized and looking for redemption and wanted a contract mariage, thought she was stealing Cedric before realizing she wasn’t and she’s strategic and all etc etc but she annoys me. Urgh. She always makes things unnecessarily complicated when they could be far more simple, keeps seeing herself as a tool and hurt Cedric in the process because she lacks self worth and I know it’s part of her character but it’s so infuriating to see her try to be cold and distant again and not give in a little. It makes her relationship with Cedric so much more awkward and honestly a lot less likable for me.
