Anthy's point of view last episode.

Anthy floated and waited for the knives.

She stared miserably, regretting every choice that had led up to here.

As she finally stole a glance at her so thought dead beloved, she instead saw a face full of pain peering back. Even almost dying, Anthy saw a face full of loyalty, love and fear for Anthy. Shocked, Anthy wondered,

Why does she not die?

Why not give up?

At least she knew an answer for that - Utena never gave up.

But why, why? Why did she still care what happened to Anthy?

Why didn't she just give up on me!?!? Thought Anthy. Doesn't she know?!
