This episode impressed me in addressing all of my lingering concerns from the previous episode. Makes me feel like I'm more or less on the same wavelength with the author/showrunner, something that doesn't happen terribly frequently with Shoujo shows.

I still feel a little weird about the possibility of Naho losing her life-partner and child over the guy she had a crush on for a few months in high school (who happens to be depressive, impulsive, and totally at home making full use of other peoples's kindness, which might not be the best blend of personality traits for a happy future for Naho herself), but at least they've made it clear that it's not erasing that existence in the metaphysics of the show, so much as creating another future in which Kakeru has the chance at a happy and productive future.

It feels like Kakeru's statement about wanting to travel to the past was kind of foreboding that maybe things will turn out exactly or mostly the same in the future but at least Naho will live her life with fewer regrets knowing that she at least tried her best to save him. Or maybe Kakeru lives on but their love doesn't last and she ends up with Suwa anyway.......which is still a little weird, yeah.

I haven't read the manga but I feel like this is the most likely scenario. I mean, most people in HS tend to not be together years or years later right?

I feel like this is the direction the story would realistically be going but love triangles are messy and overdone so I still feel a little weird about it.
