And scene! Everyone has moved on to some extent, everyone is still holding on to the past somewhat. Ai is choosing the delusion, while Kaede and Kon are saying "yes that happened, but we're here now." Even when the worst parts of the past seem like they haunt you, you can still choose to acknowledge and move on.
I liked this yuri drama. A good adult coming of age story.
I can live with that.I think you got Ai & Kaede mixed up in your assessment
