I like looking at godonaru from the angle of like. How they've both been obsessed with being heroes, saving people - especially the ones they love - and failing.

How they both had 'fairytale' ideal love stories that didn't end how they wanted, and they've had to grow past it.

For Diego, obviously he lost his happy future with Mia; but for Phoenix I think about how in aa2 he spent a year grieving Miles, after pining for this man so much he spent years building a career to save him and be his hero, thinking he finally did it and he might get his chance - only to lose him. And he ends up resenting him for it; thinking Miles really did end up heartless and only able to live with 'success'. Even when Miles came back, he was still so angry and hurt - and I think the fantasized idea of love he had for Miles very possibly could've been lost there.

And they still mean a lot to each other in the end, they rebuild their trust and realize the way in which they can rely on each other - but the love Phoenix had might not be in the same way afterwards. Miles ends up leaving a lot still - and I think he still has his own personal work to do before he might be properly romantically available.
