Surprisingly, team competitions don't go as planned, right?

once again, we have to let go of a show I loved dearly
I hate seeing them go like this, but this ending... i liked it. The fact that we don't know wether they'll meet again , the fact that in the end it's always the immortal being that stays behind. It's kinda like Dear Doctor I'm Coming for Soul but here the immortal has little time left. It's the uncertainty, it's how it's all calm, it's how when Yoh's not around Pun just wears black, it's how Pun believes with every piece of his being that Yoh will find their way back to him. The montage at the end really struck me. We saw a piece of their lives together and it was so short because I'm pretty sure that to Pun the amount of time spent with his loved one compared to his centuries old self, felt like minutes. He's used to it, he trusts their love, he knows life is like that.
I do not know what is it with these kind of approaches but they just get to me. The inevitability and the doing everything to love despite it.
There's so much we didn't get to see, but I like to think it's because it's not for us to witness.
I want to cry honestly.
