I wish they would do more side stories like this!!! Don't get me wrong I love the traditional Baki stories, but this just adds such a nice depth of familiarity that lets us know more about the characters than just their amazing fighting abilities. I absolutely loved the Hanayama school story line because that was more reminiscent of this.
I mean honestly this is the best outcome, as sad as it is, him killing her and I'm assuming him dying with her is the best way..... Although that can't be right because at the beginning an old woman is telling this story so it seems she may not die for a long while. Him stabbing her my bring him to his senses and my guess is he will be gravely injured. After that she will hopefully confess her true feelings and he can die knowing how she felt. She can move on and merry other dude.
