I definitely liked that there were multiple endings so as the reader we don’t really know which one is the “true” one but because there are also multiple endings it does make me curious as to what if hinase stayed without sex but it’s just a curiosity. A big part of the story and their character development is about challenging gender stereotypes set by society and how your sex doesn’t define who you are as a person. It would not really make sense for them to stay sexless because change not being a bad or scary thing is also a core theme in the story as they are also growing up into adults so if hinase stayed the way they had always been it would contradict their conviction on how they feel about gender and their identity on top of the health issues they’d have to deal with for the rest of their life if they stayed sexless. Change is inevitable and we already saw a POV of someone who didn’t want to pick a binary through Lisa who couldn’t accept the change and chose to end their life before they changed too much. I personally think hinase making a choice was to show despite becoming part of the binary, they were able to remain themselves because their identity is not tied to whether they’re male or female.
