I love the fact that the bond simply breaks. I love the way it's represented here with Momiji. That's the experience for some victims of child abuse. One day they realize they don't fear their abuser anymore, and that behind the fear there was truly nothing more: no love, no respect. Their abuser is this insignificant person they can simply leave behind. I also love the fact that, for Momiji, this all comes with the realization that he will never have his family back the way he wanted, but that's okay, he'll have his own family one day. And he simply moves on. I love that for him.
I really don't know how to feel about the ending though. I guess it will depend on how that revelation affects the rest of the story.
