I don't think Chihaya will choose between Arata and Taichi. This is not that kind of show, with tragedy and heartbreak, the passions of an ill-fated triangle. No, the two guys are there to balance each other off, so that Chihaya is always choosing both of them, and never between them.
By deferring the shaded complexities of actual love, the anime gains instead a corresponding intensity of romantic feeling. Witness the melodrama, the impossible physical beauty of all three of the main characters, the constant overflow of their emotions. By placing the main characters on the edge of love, but never letting them fall into it, the anime ensures that the unspoken sexual tension between them permeates the entire show.
