Episode – 12 Summary

In this last episode of the season, the issue that this being addressed is the matter of family. Since the very beginning of the series they have been avoiding the fact of making it clear to Hina that her parents are never coming back. That she believes in time they will come back from this far away place where they went away to. In the end Sora decides it would be best if she was to inform Hina that her parents went somewhere that they come never return from. In a way not exactly telling her that they are dead but just that they can't return. Hina ends up taking this information fairly hard, and then refuses to go to daycare for three days.

This event also cause Yuuta the question himself on the fact of whether or not he can be there father. Then when he ask Raika for some advice, she is particular hard on him and tells him that he can't be their father. The ends up being a fairly big blow to Yuuta, this leads to him meeting up with his aunt. However when Sora hears about this she think back to the letter about the Takanashi offer about taking them in. Then to stop this she rush off to find Yuuta, which she finds him in front of her parents graves. Where she hear him talk about that it time that he should show some resolve in his decision. Sora believes that decision is about having them go far away with the Takanashi. When she see her Uncle and aunt arrive she gets scared about what will happen but it turns out that her assumption are wrong. That it turns out the offer was is some form of atonement by his aunt being unwilling to take in him and his sister when their parents died.

After they leave the cemetery, it reminds him of a time when he went through something similar to what Hina is going through right now. That on parents day in school his sister came in saying she is there representing every family figure that Yuuta could have, that in the end that made it easier with dealing with not having parents anymore. This leads to him trying to do something similar for Hina to cheer her up. The first step to this end is confronting Raika about what she said earlier about him not being about to be their father because he can only be himself. This then cause him to ask Raika to be his wife, but the only one that really understood what he really meant by saying that is Raika herself. This leads to him bring his friends and all the people in town that support Hina to her Daycare event. Where she feels that even-though her parents are no-longer with her it doesn't mean that her family has gotten any smaller.

The season ends with it showing Yuuta and his Niece moving into to the house that use to belong to their parents. That at this point all of the major conflict are concluded but also the series feels like it is only half-way over because a lot of what happen could really only be a set-up for some deeper conflicts down the road.
