Tracing raindrops on windows

@dutchforstrangers' DigiShipping Challenge for "Sora's Crest of L.O.V.E.": Initially I had planned to base my art on Bruno Mars' "Just The Way You Are" and the following lyrics: "When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while."

And in a sense, it still fits, as you can see Taichi and Sora smiling upon reconciling post-epilogue; but when I heard the song quoted below, Amelie Jat's "2028", the theme hit me even harder.

After reading John Strelecky's "Return to the Why Café", whose main protagonists FEEL a lot like these two dorks depicted above, I wanted them to rediscover themselves. Cutting their hair at the same time coincidentally, changing, remembering, growing into the people they needed to become to actually see each other again... It's what I feel when I listen to this song, remember this book, think about Taiora.

This is heavily supported by text/subtext and is likely what the creators intended for me to get from this 

this is sort of supported by the text and could, conceivably be what the creators intended for me to get from the text/subtext

there is no evidence either way

there is slight evidence against my headcanon, but I don’t care
