Could it have been an implication that Sora used the stairsteps to simply climb out? |
This has not been mentioned before, and it raises the question that I have that I had not seen raised before either. At 15:43-15:47, there is not a pool of wet ground below Haru and Sora, rather there is a trail of it leading from the lake up the stairs and across the flat ground they are laying upon. Kinda like, if I may be so bold, as if someone had pulled them out of the water and brought them to the top of the first set of stairs from the lake. All this really shows is that they didn't 'mystically' appear on that staging area, but it's a point in the direction of the "alive" end.
