beautiful movie. i loved the multi-pov format of the same set of events and how each of their perceptions differed. it's such a delicate story. ik the ending is ambiguous but there's enough for me to surmise that the boys died in the end. their relationship was so tender and pure and innocent. i'm glad that they found freedom in the afterlife, but sad that they couldn't live their own whole lives together. interesting how every version of events was so different from the other. the trombone scene was brilliant. it being what stops hori from killing himself, and also the way the sound transitions to mugino running to hoshikawa. "i'm normal now" "u were always normal" AHHHHHHH DEAD. the principal's character was interesting ngl. overall, wonderful movie. would love to rewatch it sometime to catch missed details and watch with knowledge of future events ykwim?
