I mean from the first chapter almost all of us assumed he was Shinpei.... but the being together part is controversial one
yes i think its common sense atp but i think satoko dies before theres a more romantic turn to her relationship with the dukes son or any dramatic plot twist with shinpei. I dont believe satoko will survive bc the doctor literally said so and bc this manga does not make me believe that there will be a miracle of her surviving or extending her lifespan for more than a year
I assumed both of them died and the letter is being read by someone else that cares about satoko and is crying about it.
Guys listen! I went to the first chapter again just to check something, and I think the person we saw was Shinpei. I mainly think this 'cause the back is quite big for being a female, the hair is also short (they didn't have a hairstyle of some sort) and the clothes they wear are for men (I think).
So yeah, my theory is that they did not end up together. Maybe they were close to, but ended up not happening. That is why it says "I was very happy" (also the fireflies, which are like, a representation of Satoko or something).
What do you guys think? Pls let me know!
