The death of Misha... *MASSIVE SPOILERS*

[pandaphil]

The only one of the girls I could potentially see killing herself is Hanako. And that's only if you never become her friend, and Lilly ends up moving to Scotland.

No, hell no.

No, hell no.

So, no one else thought of the slim possibility that Misha might've considered pulling a Kenji-bad-end during Shizune's arc?

Well, she's a strong person. Albeit, perhaps, a strong person with huge emotional weights on her heart if you don't go down Shizune's storyline.

Hisao, Misha, and Shizune have lunch on the roof...And Hisao has an "accident". Misha moves in to comfort the mourning Shizune...Comfort eventually becomes "comfort"...

I'm sorry you had a bad day.

[Hisao&Hanako<3]

Got some interesting trains of thought here. I'll just sit and watch.

It's official, I occasionally hear Painful History in my sleep now. I consider it a nightmare.

If Lilly were to move back and Hisao'd never become her friend, Hanako'd be alone...but she's been in that situation for nearly 9 years and at Yamaku she hasn't even been bullied. I think it'd take more than Lilly's departure to make Hanako kill herself.

[pandaphil]

Okay, I'm not saying she would. Just that she'd be a lot more likely to than Misha.

I'm not sure. Though Hanako's been through more than Misha, which would add to her stress, I feel like she's more emotionally structured and sound. At least when compared to Misha's near-breakdown during Shizune's arc.

Hanako could logically argue that committing suicide would negate the purpose of her parents' deaths, and that her own death might ruin Lilly and Hisao, her two closest companions. The lack of parental presence would sure do massive damage, but I don't think it's something Hanako would kill herself over. It would be saddening, it would be painful if Lilly and Hisao were to go about their own paths without Hanako, but I think she'd find a way to deal with it.

Misha, on the other hand, is an inexperienced teenager dealing with unrequited love on a daily basis. She hasn't experienced anything life-scarring as Hanako had, she suffers from being a constant arms-distance away from her beloved. The scene in Shizune's arc where she explains her pain to Hisao, Hisao worries for Misha, thinking that she was contemplating suicide on the rooftop, which she very well might've been doing before he got there.

Misha's got a lot of personality, and a lot of happiness. But, in my opinion, she'd be more likely to turn to suicide, should the emotional stress be too much for her to handle.

[pandaphil]

A lot of good points there Umber. Really, us writers HAVE to find that poor girl someone who'll love her.

As for Hanako, I guess my only evidence to support her doing it were her comments at the end of her good ending, where she says outright that it would be better if she didn't exist.
