Man this sucks. Part of me hopes that "first and last summer" thing from the start is just one big ruse and they're the opening lines from the final novel (definitely titled "The Summer You Were There"). It would be great if Kaori herself got the happy ending she deserves, since she's convinced she won't be around anymore within a year too. But I know the end is definitely set in stone, I can already see the "I want to eat your pancreas" ending coming. Ruri might never make an appearance besides being someone Shizuku can grow from, but if Kaori dies I can see an ending where she and Shizuku become friends. There has to be more to both of them being sick.
If it has to end in tragedy the one thing I want is Shizuku to write her heart out and let Kaori read their romance novel before she passes.
