If I have to summarize, Murasakino's works is about a satisfying pain.
A doormat dog pairs with a nonchalant players who doesn't like troublesome things. Having senpai who knows Chihiro's feeling, just do whatever with her because she "kept" up with it and having Chihiro being used whatever and listened to Senpai calling her "You're a pain" or that "Going out with you would be a pain" yet do nothing because she's helplessly in love with Senpai and chase for any little affection from Senpai>>> perfect angst. Like.. this is the worst pairing it can be, the most hurtful one, someone who let others do whatever and would do anything in chasing affection of that one person and someone who do whatever and don't give a care about them, who would dump them in a second if they become a pain.
Having senpai start missing Chihiro after she left>>satisfying
Having senpai know see and understand Chihiro's feeling (implied by how now she know why Chihiro don't want to sleep with her)>>pain for senpai, satisfying angst.
Having Senpai to live through exactly what Chihiro went ("Honestly, you're kinda disappointing/a pain senpai"), Chihiro treats her nonchalantly, hurt her whatever, and having senpai now became the one who is helplessly chasing Chihiro despite the pain she caused her>> aangst, but satisfying.
Murasakino's works is never about happy ending or healthy couple, but rather a story that induces pains in the most angst it can be in a way that it is satisfying (either it's a suffering revenge or just poetically depressing)
