Does Nozomi realizes she wants to be a good sister for Shino because she wants to be together with the man she loves at first then now to preserve his bond with her? ?
Well ~ I hope Nozomi will realize that she really wants to be Shino's sister because she comes to love Shino. No ulterior motives again in coming chapters.
?
The words "I love [Shino] as she is a good girl," and the realization that her ideal, now shattered, in which she could sustain this sisterly love in a family, really makes me hope Nozomi doesn't become depressed over the next few chapters in trying to figure out what her relationship to Shino is.
Nozomi's ideal/wish was to live happily with Shino and Taichi, as seen in Page 18.
But since Taichi has passed away, that wish is no longer possible. Hence "It can never be [fulfilled]".
Thanks @_anq for the fast chapter!!
And... Now Nozomi really has come to a realization that her dream isn't there anymore.
It also mean that she finally can confront her feeling, her depression, Taishi is not by her side anymore.
So, even though she have to be happy, the picture is only just for her and Shino.
