This feels strangely like a bookend to their first meeting so I’m just nervously going to keep reading out of sheer hope that I’m wrong and this isn’t what I think it is
It's fine it's fine there's nothing narratively final going on here it's all fine

WAIT NO
NO
NO
CLAMP DON’T DO IT
WAIT NO I’M NOT READY I DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN
NO THANKS NO THANKS NO THANKS
But but but If I can stop myself from panicking too much it IS an actual book end. Yuuko adding the Hitsuzen Part II - people meet when they need to meet and they part when they need to part. The implication being EXACTLY what the entire chapter has been showing us every step of the way - that Watanuki has grown into everything that Yuuko was there to show him, and it would be hitsuzen for her to finally leave the store at this point. He IS ready to fulfill the demands of the store on his own, he’s grown to have the wisdom to answer all these strange and wonderful problems, and he also has the family and support system he needs to get through it all.
Watanuki first met Yuuko at the beginning of the manga (or like, this version of Watanuki, without his memories, first met Yuuko at the start of the manga) not knowing who he was or where he fit into the world. His inner fear that he didn’t deserve to exist meant his life was in turmoil, spirits hounded him wherever he went, and he was so scared by it that he wanted to wish it all away.
And now it’s the opposite. He understands who he is and what he’s missing, he’s loved and feels like he wants to exist for the sake of those he love him, and he has a place that he belongs (and a place that is thrilled to have him there too, if you include Maru and Moro). He is no longer hounded by spirits - his life is in balance. He has reached his fully butterfly stage.
And so there is no more for Yuuko to teach him.
But with that aside please excuse me it's TIME TO PANIC
#Cue me SCREAMING in the distance#YES OK I WILL STOP TO WRITE OUT MY THOUGHTS#THE PAIN OF NOT TURNING THE PAGE IS HOW I KNOW IT MATTERS#BUT EVEN SO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#Not liveblogging the reservoir chronicle#xxxholic 89#xxxholic#Watanuki#Yuuko Ichihara#I suppose you could also throw in the contrast of#Their first meeting was inside the store and confusing to Watanuki#He’s there because he NEEDS something#Now they’re outside and he’s calm#He doesn’t need to make a wish anymore#He understands himself and everything else better#And he can SEE the world beyond the borders of the store from here#As he is surrounded by the falling Sakura petals#Because we know who he is now too#Also him suddenly grabbing Yuuko out of sudden fear is MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE#HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP
