In this case, both Iori and her mother think the other will be happier, even when it’s clearly the opposite. How bittersweet and selfless is that? These types of stories always remind me of The Gift of the Magi (which is a Christmas story I realize but always cute to read nonetheless) where both the individuals give up something important to them for the sake of the other person. And the only thing Iori wants is for her mother to be happy. But not for her own companionship, it was because she thought it would make Iori happy. We find out this episode that Iori’s mom actually offered her second dad (the violent and abusive one) another chance to come back and live with them. I previously guessed that Iori’s meetings with her mom stemmed from another marriage proposal or a relocation for work. In fact, there was very little done on Taichi’s part (even if he mentioned Heartseed #2) and everyone started reverting back at random. I always felt that this arc would focus more on Himeko/Iori’s interest in Taichi, but this episode definitely zoned in on Iori. However, it’s by no way a bad way to end and it comes packed with many resolutions, especially involving Iori. This episode marks the pseudo-finale (the last episode to air) and the end of the current arc of Kokoro Connect.
