(famiresu final chapter spoilers)
sth sth you both looked back. there might be no hugs and no grand gestures (except one that couldve been but fell down the river), but the love was there. the story moves ever steadily forward. you looked back and there was love in your eyes, hope in your heart and the knowledge that things will keep moving on from here. life doesnt end when youre 18, and it wont when youre 43 either. this meal and the time you spend together might come to an end, but as long as youre both alive, there can be a next time. this might be the last time you can meet this year, but there will be the next. life is all the small gestures, the banality of it all. its laughing as the man you love tried to jump into a river to retrieve the coins you saved up for him. its half-jokingly scold the boy you love because he lost his hard-earned money and hes laughing about it. its holding out your hands for a hug. its patting them on the back. its looking back even when theyre gone.
