Why couldn't this have happened on the canonverse? Why?!
Cool Kyoushinsha has this really weird way of handling lesbian subtext/main text where you can never tell whether anything's ever going to happen, and the more plot and character development occurs the more confusing it gets.
For all that there's been talk of her growing old and dying, I can't honestly believe that the magic world doesn't have solutions to that or that Tooru wouldn't be willing to use them. Or, for that matter, that Kobayashi wouldn't be willing to use them at some point.

There's bits in the manga where it looks like Kobayashi is coming to terms with the idea that she's attracted to Tohru. Shame they haven't been uploaded here.
