*A little bit of spoiler alert*

I just finished watching the movie and I won't say it is a "happy ending" because somehow it is not. It is a "twisted ending".
If people definition of happy ending is they ended up together than yeah, I give it to you, it is a happy ending, but is it?
He (Yoda Ryoji) saved him (Katsuragi Makoto) from the will and craze for killing himself, yes.
But did Makoto make Ryoji forget his past lover, not really, that is what the last scene is about, he said he is Alive. How many times will Makoto have to remind Ryoji that he is not his past lover, how many times will the trauma come back to him? Saving a person does not mean they are living, they are just alive.

(A simple example of that is when you are having a horrible day and someone, anyone comes to you and asks how you are, most of the time we don't answer that we are fine, we say we are alive or surviving.)
So they ended up alive and together but not necessarily happy.
Physical pleasure is not everything, they have a life to live, Ryoji has a hospital to go back to and Makoto has a job that he lost, he has to continue living somehow. How many things will they have to mend besides their souls?
But what makes it really twisted is that they will either have to die together or they are going to end up taking their own lives after the other dies.
They bound themselves so deeply that it is either alive together or dead together. It is twisted because they are literally bound to each other's heart.


The movie is great, I was hooked and deeply in. It is a great story/plot.
I enjoyed it and the actors, omg, they deserve an award for that.
If you have triggers tho, do not watch it.
