I feel like this story's ending is up for interpretation because there was that car scene where Odajima was crying and about to shoot the seme; then there was that other ending scene where the two were at that old man's restort working as bartenders. But then there was the dream where the seme woke up from his memory Dream about everything that happened as they sat by the water. Like it could be any one of those endings, it's just up to the reader for which to choose. Or, Odajima never actually hit the seme when he was about to shoot him during sex bc he came to like him too much. Maybe he purposefully missed and left the gun where he was gonna shoot the seme in the first chapter as like a good ending for his 7 year long revenge spree. If that makes sense? Honestly I was confused a little bit too.
Odajima' sworn brother(the one with the matching tattoo) admired Kataoka to the point of sacraficing himself for him. Odajima' killed his bro on accident bc he jumped Infront of the shot that was supposed to be for Kataoka, hence the third(?) Person he liked after his family(father and sister)
The ending seems open ended but I think he just shot a final bullet before the officially retired bc love or whatever, so they do work at the hotel resort and they did meet the old man and the others.
So did the seme die or not?
Also did the seme kill the ukes bro or whatever he was?
Did they get married?
Whats with the memories?
I feel like i was confused for like 90% of this.....
I mean why would he go through the trouble or paying to be freed by that one guy if he was just going to kill the seme???
Someone help plz
