I'll admit, I was kind of hoping for a different endgame for Kuragehime at first. But as things started getting, uh, presumptuous, I accepted it probably wasn't going to happen and also that I didn't want it under those circumstances anyway. The only thing I really didn't want was pushing Tsukimi into another standard romance after she'd made it clear she needed to grow on her own first, and that's why I loved the "Come on, it's the 21st century!" in the final narration.
