i think the whole point is that neither of them had moved on, their entire story stopped midway and both of them had always only kept the other in their heart - it’s understandable that signup was scared to get in a relationship with him considering societal issues + long distance relationship since he’s graduating. he loved him so much he was scared how broke he’d be if they ever broke up plus they rly were just kids. i think their adult selves also make sense - why do people expect adults to be so clean and logical about their feelings? to simply move on and never experience deep emotional love? they loved eachother for their entire lives and although it had ended partway in pain, they realised they still want to be together despite it all. i just think both of their actions and emotions are well justified and meaningful. it seems everyone in this comment section just wants the librarian to get over him and move on and break sugino’s heart, i think this is quite a 1 dimension and cruel way of story telling. and i think the most beautiful aspect of this story is both of their persisting love, even after years of being apart. idk man all these negative comments rly annoyed me, just feels so unempathetic
