Ok, but is there better angst than this? Than when Hakumen comes face to face with the woman he loves and failed after so long (because time travel/alternate timeline shenanigans) and wants to apologize to her and tell her he loves her where he couldn't before but can't because no one can know his true identity as the man she loves? Better angst than Hakumen tenderly touching her cheek and telling her their story while Tsubaki is like "Oh, I'd like to be a woman like that," and he responds, and I quote, "For you, such a thing would be as simple as breathing"?
