This could have been the ending if the author didn't fuck up, I still recall the shit show that was the final book, author was such a coward by giving us the long awaited love confession on the second to last book only to reveal in the last book through a drink tall that a sad drunk Raika got rejected as Sora spied on them with joy. He skipped it, then skipped to reveal he somehow saw his niece as a woman and then skipped to them engaged to marry.
