Seishiro's fate

[darkbandicoot]

Major spoilers for Rainbow Bridge!

Poll Seishiro's fateI am curious. If it were me, it'd be a definete yes! Clamp are cruel, I mean Subaru is so depressed with his life, & then Seishiro dies on him too, just like Hokuto did. What kind of life does he live now (besides being a Sakurazukamori, he does in the anime, though I bet he does since it was said by Seishiro's

There's not an option I agreed with.

... I'm just kind of amused at the belief that Subaru could "move on", or that the two of them could've been happy together.

I agree. It was a rocky and doomed romance. Kind of like Catherine and Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights).

Yeah, the idea of Sei/Sub and a happy ending is -- incongruous, to say the least.

I do think they might've been able to work, had Subaru ever called Sei on his bullshit or if Sei backed Subaru into a tight enough corner, but in that case, their definition of functionality would be drastically different from anyone else's. But it didn't happen, because their relationship is characterized by miscommunication and obsession without understanding, and you can't fix that stuff just by waving a magic wand (or a pen) and saying "Seishirou lives!"

Besides, they wouldn't be half as interesting if they weren't so fucked-up.

Not exactly happy, because Subaru can never truely be happy because Hokuto was killed by Seishiro, but he also loves Seishiro, meaning it's what his heart wants, but not his head.

I was stuck to think of anything else. Is there an option you'd like me to put in there too?

I have made an error. When I say happy, I don't exactly mean the perfect happy ending, but you know, happy as they can be with the facts that Hokuto was killed by Seishiro, Seishiro is an emotional killer, etc, thrown into the mix.

An option for "None, I liked the way canon dealt with them"?

A-and I'm glad you didn't mean it as a perfect happy ending |D;;;
