It was not an easy struggle either.
So how can you honestly say that this is coming as cheap? I think his struggle is rendered meaningless if someone stayed dead in the end. It makes more literary sense for him to triumph.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but none of those people gave up anything they had before all the manipulation started. Ruka was already a boy, Feyris' father was already dead. Emotional anguish? Undeniable. I'm just wondering if in terms of cosmic justice, there doesn't need to be some sort of
material cost.
Again, emotionally I'm rooting hard for a happy ending and I do think Okabe deserves it. I'm just conflicted on whether it makes sense from a poetic justice standpoint.
