Yes, that's Takeshi. And that's what I figured, he's there to force Tatsuya to be more introspective. I just found his behavior somewhat odd, in a humerous way.
I agree with you - if Adachi's work is about anything, it's about moving on with your life when tragedy strikes. But as one of the major criticisms of his manga is that the characters don't show much emotion, I could see someone who felt that way taking issue with the transition here. For me, it worked just fine.
Incidentally, as this is an almost 30-year old property we're talking about I'm going to dispense with the spoiler tags unless it's something really specific...
