Spoiler:

Possible endings have now been speculated either to be tragic or happy. But, after Ep.10, looks like it'll be the former.

I can think the possibilities are either:
- Yorito and Matsuri run away together

- Matsuri and Yorito suicide together as one suggested

- Matsuri kills Aono thus destroying Yorito then kills herself; Mayuko returns to human, but still remains in child form (loli-lover for Takeshi? XD)

- Creators add a twist and bonus character for Matsuri to kill: "master Yaka"? O.o

- Creators add an evil twist and the main villain is Mana in disguise. -_-;

Which would be more likely?

As for Matsuri's memories, I think Matsuri most likely decided to forget about Yorito after she learned that he died. Isn't it true in many tragic romance stories, the lover is told to move on? They'll still remember the person, but as time goes by, he or she will eventually forget the person they loved because that person no longer exists. And, to see that person you thought was dead again so many years or centuries after would be unfamiliar to you unless an outside factor triggered memories in him or her. In the case for Matsuri, she couldn't recognize Yorito, and I think after hearing Aono's name again and meeting her again after so long, was the one trigger for her to put everything together. The Count of Monte Christo is probably a good example, I think.

Remember she told Aono in the train that night: "But, Yorito is your--" "Your" what? I think now what she meant to tell Aono is this: "... your dead brother." Aono doesn't want to believe that so she tells Matsuri: "My brother." Aono just simple refuses to believe and accept that Yorito is truly gone. Matsuri moved on, eventually forgot about Yorito, but remembered again how much she loved him. Aono didn't forgot about Yorito and never moved on with her life. She probably spent centuries figuring out how to recreate Yorito up until 3 months ago.

And, 3 months ago, is when Matsuri reached that town to run away from Takeshi. Takeshi and Mayuko arrived in that town. Yorito and Aono move in to that town, or Aono has been living there already. Yorito meets Mana and Koyori and begins going to school with them. That three months ago is what started this whole mess in the first place. Now it might end tragically. >_<
