And since she carried Rie with her, through her feelings, it makes sense that the school got trashed and the clock broken to free Rie because otherwise, we would have them separated when Mari went back to Tokyo. Then again the question then would be if Mari would have left for Tokyo. Yeah, this was the best possible outcome that I can think of. And who is to say that Rie won’t get bored and come back to Mari in Tokyo after some time? Things happen you know! And so with that optimistic view, I have to say that I absolutely enjoyed this movie! I know some will be disappointed but not me! So totally worth the money and wait for shipping.
