I agree, completely cruel, and it could have been done differently by the author. It felt...somewhat like a copout, too.
How could that be happy Sure, it has a happy ending...but not a completely happy one. Maybe that is the pont? We can't have our cake and eat it too?
At least it didn't have that usual tragic ending that a lot of animes seem to adore: one dies, and the remaining lover lives on with passion in his/her heart. Ugh.
