Yes, you are correct. He most assuredly cared for her. Deeply. That is what she and his mother taught him through their own examples.

You could say that he eventually opened up his heart to "love" as Flonne had always hoped, but I don't think he fully evolved enough to the point of "loving her" (thus leaving open the possibility of a second season), but I do think he cared for her deeply and for people around him. Which he didn't in the beginning of the show. I guess that’s love in some sense, but I didn’t fully buy into his selfless act as an act of love, but more one of caring.

Then again, maybe his crying was his acceptance that he did love Flonne ... and his mother. Maybe his heart did open up that wide.

Of course, I'm kind of splitting hairs (and I'm not sure why I am). ^^; Maybe I'm just hoping for a second season and more anime.
