Anyone know what really happened to Haruto in the end?
In my opinion it seems as though the director wanted to convey that Haruto recently died. Because when the main character was playing basketball alone in heaven (no others she knew died) Haruto showed up because he also died, and she greeted him with a smile.
if you think about it,
5 years later, Haruto would have already become a doctor.
Maybe ... he showed up later?
Think about it, that moment was brief.
Who knows...
He might have been doing some intensive research to cure that 'spinocerebellar atrophy'.
It would've been more meaningful to have Haruto at the grave.
So he can cry his sexy eyes out. Darn...
I really don't think he died.
Although its quite questionable why Haruto was in that scene with her standing and playing basketball.
That scene never happened too. There was something SIMILAR but her legs were not function well that time.
I think its because in her journal or whatever, she said she had a dream where she was running and playing basketball,
and how she wished to experience love and stuff. I think that whole fantasy was a "WHAT IF" situation.
HonestlyI think that the director couldn't realistically get the siblings and Haruto to look "aged"
But, they could've just make the actor Ryo wear classes, and BAM! thats 5 years added to his looks.
interesting....
But there is no implication or benefit that the story could've gained with Haruto dead.
