Ok, this IS going to be LONG.

You know how some of you say that Taisuke took advantage of the situation? While that's true, remember the fact that it was Makoto who created the mess in the first place. Maybe, Taisuke, as an observer, had already foresaw this, thus he had planned on this all along.

Just to bring you back to ep 9, where Taisuke was actually asking Kotonoha out for a date - and was flat out rejected. This probably was part of his plan after all. I mean, it's totally possible. And also, by that point, Kotonoha was not only enamored by Makoto (which shows, all the way to the end, and I'll get to that later.), and also, her mind was totally absorbed by thoughts of Makoto. Typical of someone in love. However, there's also something else that some may have failed to notice. She tends not to socialise, if my observations are correct. I think that's being hinted at in Cross Day's test version (and yes, you can go to 0verflow's site to download it, here.

Thus, you can tell that this is something wrong. Remember the family line/chart/spaghetti?



Chew on this. Makoto's dad is also Sekai's and Setsuna's grandfather.

Oh well, you don't see Kotonoha. And that's where my query lies. Does Kotonoha have a equally complicated family tree/chart/map? I don't know. But it could be possible, since the fact is that she seems to be she doesn't like to socialise, or even communicate. It seems likely that there's some family history behind it, since I can't find any other reason thus far. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Then there's Taisuke. That could have caused a relapse in a mental condition that was previously dormant. She was passive when Taisuke did what she did, and it must have only been later (maybe much later) before she relaised what had happened. I mean, she would probably have been tired, in a state comparable to that of being drugged or, just, too enamored with Makoto, that she thought that it was Makoto and not Taisuke. No one knows.

And there's more to it where it comes from. Could it be that, that's what causing the mental breakdown she has? You know, sometimes, a mental breakdown isn't immediately visible, it may likely take time to be seen. What it needs is a trigger to show it. Here, it was Sekai, after being told to go for an abortion, murdering Makoto. That set off Kotonoha in turn. So yeah, it could have been an underlying problem for some time. Though I have no idea whether it would be true, since there's no visual evidence in the series.

And finally, the Nice Boat. Hugging Makoto's head. I promised to tell you how Kotonoha was enamored with Makoto to the end. This shows it. Oh and yes.

I want a good end in Cross Days where Makoto dies by an act of God, and Sekai and Kotonoha are happy. Maybe, Kotonoha with Yuuki. Yeah. Change we can believe in.
