This is of course a doomed ending, and the forces that govern that ending govern nearly all Japanese anime. I tell myself so. However, when I turned around and looked at all the footage of Ami, I saw her wandering between the two myself, I saw her often black belly, I saw her hiding in the gap between the vending machines, I watched How can she not complain about the unfairness of the ending when she looks at her long hair and her eyes with her gorgeous Christmas performance.
But what? If there is anything I learned from watching this animation, it is undoubtedly that the more mature people are, the more damage they will suffer. Ami, she's just too mature. She will never cry out the name of Long'er like Dahe, and she will never fill the gap in her heart with fearless vitality like Minori. She knows her position too well, she knows too well what she wants and what she can want. Therefore, she is always calm and self-sufficient, and always has the power to calm people's hearts. Yes, how many times she has become the strength of others, how many times her kindness and wisdom have given others to rely on. However, no one can be her strength and support.
Maybe only the gap between the vending machines can make her rely on it. What was she thinking when she hugged her legs and hid there? Will it be concerned about the progress of Dragon Tiger? Are you thinking about Xiaoshi's mood? Or, could it be her own hope, her small, unconventional hope?
Ami's hope is particularly distressing, because she desires too little and wants too little. Maybe it's just a little attention from Long'er, maybe she just wants to get closer to Long'er - when she looked at Long'er with wet eyes so many times, when she approached Long'er in full costume at the Christmas party At times, when she repeatedly turned her head away from meeting Long'er's eyes. I imagined that she was scolding herself in her heart, but she was still unable to suppress this small hope, and she was carefully testing Long'er's situation. As long as she thought about it, she would feel distressed.
She never gets carried away. Because Long'er never responded to her. She never even cried.
She suffered the most damage. What a fair world this is, where the damage is distributed to the right people. What an unfair world this is. I imagined the back of Ami turning and leaving, what a sad back it was.
Good way, Ami.
