Oh, Ai... 🫠
I have to agree with the other commenters here that Kon successfully chasing down Ai can't end well. Kon has done everything she possibly could, and at this point, if she really found Ai and brought her back, nothing would be resolved. Kon would have to keep living her life in constant fear that Ai is going to leave again, and Ai likely won't be able to move on properly from Kaede unless it's her choice. If this is to have a happy ending, or at least not a tragic one, then Ai needs to resolve her issues herself and choose Kon on her own.
Thank you for the TL!
Best thing for Kon is staying put and simply attempting to move on with her life.
If Ai figures herself out and moves beyond Kaede (and I think that's currently a
big if), and she seeks out Kon again, Kon can make the call if she feels she can let Ai back in. But it'd be Kon's call, 100%.
That said...I kinda think Ai can pull through, at least with her disillusionment with Kaede. I
suspect she's seeing Kaede's penchant for simply saying & doing whatever she thinks her partner for the moment wants, but how she otherwise is strangely detached and unemotional. (Spotting her behavior during her job with that other customer, when she was all smiles, felt like a clear indicator how Kaede can just "switch" it all up at a moment's notice.)
But, if she suspects Kon is finally done with her, I think Ai might assume that she truly is unworthy of genuine love from someone else....and might "consign" herself to unhappiness by rejecting her own desire for Kon.
At which point....well, feels like an impasse that requires outside help.
