Goddamnit, the look she had on her face most of this chapter

>Can there be a happy ending, or at least something that isn't totally sad
Her very existence is doomed to die young. If you think this won't be a bittersweet ending at best, I think you're deluding yourself.

Yeah, but for quite a while the tone was more hopeful. I think it lulled me into a false sense of security that they might work it out. This chapter was a bit of a jump into the deep end.

At the moment I could see something like Chise helping Elias to get to a point where he understands himself, his thoughts and feelings fairly well and in turn he helps her move on from her self loathing childhood and depression, finally being able to just see that as an old memory, but she still dies fairly soon after. Which would be very heavily tipped towards the bitter end of bittersweet, if you ask me. And I think sad and bittersweet ends are about as cliche as happy ends are these days, what matters is how well the writing drives the story to that point.

this series is refreshing and i hope it doesn't get too sad ;(
