I love how Kemutai Hanashi, despite saying connections can easily break, also insists on the possibility of them being repaired just as easily. You just need to reach out. Not think, but say out loud "let's hang out", "we should meet again", "you're important to me, still".
Arita and Takeda meet again after a whole year apart and start eating together again. Ririko hasn't been close with her uncle lately, but she chooses to get to know his new loved ones. Kabashima and Arita hadn't seen each other for years, but Arita says "I want to remain friends", and Kabashima invites him to go out sometime...
It's such a simple, yet comforting thought... Things are rarely lost completely, you just need to take one step in their direction.
