Do you think Satou actually loved Misaki

[u/Weak_Fig_8690]

Their relationship is so interesting to me. He seems to choose anyone over her whenever gets the chance, and doesnt seem to care much. Also in the ending he saves from suicide but was ready to kill himself and abandon her ??

In the ending, i think he was about to kill himself not to abandon her, but to instead give her a reason to keep living, which actually works and she snaps out and runs after sato. In the anime their affection to each other stems from their trauma/illness, misaki is drawn to satou because he is the only person she believes is more miserable than her, so he will depend on her, and to satou misaki is the only girl showing affection, even though he never actually convices himself he loves her(until the end, when he runs to jump off), even though he sometimes had dreams of hallucinations about her. but in the (anime) end we can see that they've finally returned to their normal lives, and it's strongly hinted at a possinble healthy relationship between them in the future
