This however loses the impact of the show being a tragedy. Blame the Greeks for inventing the genre otherwise characters like Romeo and Juliet would all end up living happily ever after. Unfortunately happy ending aren't mandatory especially in this type of show.

Sure it would've been an added element that would've given them a happy ending, but since it seemed to going that way anyway, it doesn't matter. I consider the deaths of Reiji and (possibly) Elen to be more Diabolus Ex Machina, than it being a Tragedy. That's why I'm asking if there was anything to suggest that they were going to die.
