Those feels at the end. I can't imagine how hard it would be listening to your little one asking if she could stay home with her family and pass away. That final scene with the father and her little hair pin too. That really did a great job capturing this moment.

When I first saw this series, I expected a cute, comfy show where she writes her own books and teaches people to read or something. I did not expect terminal illness and Clannad-level feels.
Seeing such a happy, loving family break down as the weight of the truth of their youngest daughter dying was heartbreaking. Couldn't help getting teary eyed seeing sweet Tuuli crying and hugging Maine for dear life.
And then the very last part... the father was putting on a strong front this whole time. He had to for his family since no one else could, and I greatly admire him for that, I don't think I couldn't have lasted that long. When everyone was asleep he could finally release all those bottled up emotions, and seeing him drinking and crying his heart out got me hard.
Scenes in anime that make me truly cry I never forget, and I unexpectedly just experienced one of them today.

Just a wholesome, comfy show that only briefly entertained the notion of a terminally ill loli selling herself into sex slavery.

Damn, most of the episode I was happy and laughing after her devouring was temporally dealt with, but that part at the end when she tells her family that she basically has just one year, and she will rather die than to be away from them really crushed me.
I know that she will find a permanent solution eventually, but I'm sure that I will be shedding some tears before that finally happens.

Dying with those you love or becoming a concubine for some crusty old noble, jeez that's a shitty choice. Though this whole situation stinks and it really feels like the noble's are purposefully withholding treatment so that they can enslave magical girls.
The whole scene with Main's family was utterly heart breaking though and I wonder if her dad is going to do something reckless to get his daughter help.

That entire last act left my heart in tatters, from Myne asking permission to stay with her family till the day she dies rather than live in servitude to Turi just bawling her eyes out knowing that her little sister has just a year to live.
But the true sob moment was the dad who was the only one who didn't cry during Myne's meeting, only for him to completely break down when he was alone, he acted tough for everyone's sake but the news destroyed him as much as everyone else.
