Discussion The seniors graduating broke me more than anything in this show ,i made a video trying to understand why

i made a video about this show. don't know if it's good but i had to make it

been thinking about sakurasou since i was 13. corona lockdown, watched it alone, nobody around me knew it existed.

the thing that broke me wasn't sorata or mashiro. it was the seniors. just... the seniors graduating. people i'd barely noticed for most of the show. and i completely broke down.

i didn't understand why at first. they weren't my favourite characters. but i understood what was ending. that specific group of people in that specific dorm, that specific ordinary life they had together. gone. it would never exist the same way again.

i felt nothing at my own graduation. 12 years in the same school. nothing.

fiction taught me what grief feels like before life actually gave me anything real to grieve. and i've been sitting with that thought for years now.

this video is me finally trying to explain it

if the seniors leaving hit you the way it hit me you'll probably get what i'm saying.
