Alright well, a little backstory first, I started watching your lie in April back in 2016 but when I found out accidentally how it ended I stopped on episode 6 for nearly two years, after some bad things happened in my life I went back and finished it, the show itself is a masterpiece and immediately made it to the top of my favorite shows list and I've rewatched it repeatedly but like most, the ending hit me like a freaking bus and threw me into depression for a long time, so I decided to make my own, happier, ending, the thing that really got me about it was how Kaori died without knowing for sure how Kousei (or Arima if you prefer) felt about her, the creator himself didn't want it to end that way either, he just wrote it to make his editor cry but by the time he decided to change it, it has already been submitted to the network and would cost too much to change, I know I'm late to the party and I am so very sorry for it, I doubt many people really care anymore but writing this was still pretty therapeutic and the show did give me an outlet for all the emotions I had bottled up inside, the biggest complaint I've seen with other alternate endings is that they dont capture the emotions of the original so I did my best to capture both the emotion and give it a happy twist, it's no masterpiece, not by a long shot but I hope it's still a good short read and can maybe cheer some others up too, maybe I'll write another alternate ending sometime in the future but for now, please feel free to leave a comment, I'd love it and if you havent seen the show... what are you doing here? Go watch it!!! I'm sorry about the little Watari x Tsubaki thing thrown in at the end too but I wanted them to have a happy ending also even if it does feel rushed and who knows, if enough people like it maybe I'll redo it as an entire episode scrip or something, thanks!
