- Maybe she wasn't pyscho after all.. just desperate and for a good
- reason. Does anyone else think that Kyosuke's way of dealing with Hikaru
- to be quite Harsh for a guy that almost fell for her? If Ayukawa hadn't
- called that night, would Kyosuke have snapped out of it himself and been
- able to figure out what he really wanted? (Probably yes, but Hikaru
- was playing Kyosuke pretty well for 3+ years, and could have pulled her
- little game off...

- I think I'll buy the Movie soundtrack so I can be sad every day. Why
- I don't know.. But yeah, it was pretty close to home for me too, even though
- I've never been in a triangle as touchy as theirs.. but I think that everyone
- who's ever lost a friend, or a girlfriend in their younger days can feel how
- hard KOR's movie hits.. quite nostalgic for me in lots of ways.. even though
- it's only been a few years since HS...
-
- Back to Kyosuke's way of dealing with it.. it shows another aspect
- of the realism involved. People aren't perfect. Madoka and Kyosuke's way
- of dealing with the situation shows this.. Instead of sympathizing with
- Hikaru, they play the "ICE HER" game, which we're all quite familiar with.
- Many years back, he and Madoka (with their 5 children) will probably look
- back and wish they had done it less painfully..
