Fuck, if I ever befriend someone like that in life, I'll never let go of her.

Saw that over and over. The poor girl is really the most miserable char in the end. Perhaps a little because I became very friendly towards this char during the series, but I was really cheering on for something to happen between her and Ryuji, even if the ending was already decided since episode 1 (this was what I assumed).
Don't give me the thing about personality compatibilities or other issues. Almost everyone here is an adult that never gave up someone just because others say thing like "you don't suit him/her", or "you are very different, it will never work out". Relationships are also made of compromise and everyone knows about it.
I think that in episode 24 we see more of her than in the rest of the series. We see her confirm what she really feels, and also, it show more of how she really is.
One thing about this anime is the char reactions. Those faces they make upon seeing/hearing something. It's sometimes more effective (if done right) than hearing the thoughts or something like that. It can also leave some space for we to understand for ourselves the feelings of the chars. Like the face she made on the start of episode 24 when Ryuji says he's going after Taiga. Plain painful to watch. When I got many of these reactions throughout the series, I started to lean to her side, even knowing that it was not going to happen. I guess it made my experience of watching this anime much more interesting, even if I don't like the ending. But more painful as well. The damn girl is sad. And you know, wistfulloner? I agree with you: "Fuck, if I ever befriend someone like that in life, I'll never let go of her".
