"Clow... how..." Yuuko cut herself off. There were too many ways to finish that question, and no real answers. How could you do this? How dare you do this? How are we going to fix this?

Really. No answers at all.

She should have known better when he started to court her. She should have known better. They both should have known better.

They are two of the most powerful magic users in existence. Too much so, as this incident proves. They should not have embarked on their dalliance. They should not have strengthened their connection to such a degree. They should not have allowed themselves to forget the restrictions placed on themselves by the nature of their magics.

Should not have…

Was it inevitable? Of course. Their meeting was inevitable. Their connection was inevitable.

They choose to be in love.

And so, his wish for her to open her eyes again was inevitable.

It was inevitable that his strong magic would act and make his wish/can't-wish come true.

Therefore, it was inevitable that the form that the wish had taken would change the lives of the two children with the shared name.

The children's choice made it inevitable for another to be born, who is an existence without cause.

Clow had paid his price, when he went to that desert kingdom.

She was about to pay hers.

Perhaps she will meet him again, some other time.

No, not perhaps.

Inevitably, she will.
