well, "I can't run away even if I wanted to" probably means that if she did run away or reject the marriage, she'd get in trouble with her family... maybe worst being disowned or something
arranged marriages that are done when they are still just kids, is fcking terrible :/ I hate seeing that... if you want an arranged marriage, then set it up when BOTH people are 18+ and able to choose to accept/reject it. Instead of it being pre planned by the parents when they are just kids or "decided long time ago" and then the kids don't even have a choice in the matter
"We get engaged before we graduate high school" man that's one terrible family tradition. Not even a proper adult and with no real time living as an adult and experiencing life, yet forcing them into engagement and shutting off that part of their life
even here, it's not really a happy ending for her, more-so just... well she could've gotten worse. But ya, she loved Ookami-sister and "getting her brother" is not much of a happy ending cause of the whole arranged marriage part, as well as it seems like the Ookami brother is much older than her... which is just a whole other set of issues.
A proper happy ending for her would have been her being free of the stupid arranged marriage, and being able to "walk forward" on her own terms
