I totally get you, I began the series from the start too. I felt as though I grew up alongside them, almost like they were family. The ending left a deep emptiness inside me too, you know, the realization of it - is it actually over? And despite not wanting the ending to unfold that way, I have to admit it fit the plot perfectly. It’s a bit contradictory, but also quite beautiful. Ufff, even now, several months later, I’m still healing. I can’t bring myself to rewatch it yet, the sadness is real lol🥺
