I think the ending being kind of ambiguous is really nice! It has this bittersweet sort of feel to it that you don't really get with hanahaki ideas very often if at all and it was an immensely beautiful read especially with the later pages being all Aizawa POV! I loved it from start to finish so thank you very much for sharing it with us!
Awww, that is what I was hopping! It makes me very happy to hear it came through 🖤
All of the story leading up to a POV shift had been the plan from the beginning, so we could understand what had been going through Shouta's head. We didn't get to see a few of the details of Aizawa's POV, either because I couldn't work them in organically, or because they would have made the story drag, or ruined the pacing, but I got to show the most vital parts of it and the emotion he was going through.
For example, something I couldn't really portray without spelling it out was that once Hizashi had confessed to Shouta in his delirium, Aizawa couldn't actually confront him about the flowers anymore, because it could have doomed him. Since the disease depends on the perspective of the person infected, if Aizawa had revealed what he knew and confessed anyway there would be a risk that Hizashi wouldn't have believed him, thinking he was doing it to save him, meaning he would be fucked and there wouldn't be much Shouta could have done at this point (similarly, if Hizashi got convinced Shouta loved him back he'd be healed regardless of whether or not it was true. Which thankfully is not the case in this story). So that's why every time Hizashi drifts off, or starts coughing, risking compromising his secret, Shouta distracts him and deflects.
Little lore dump you didn't ask for but I was looking for the opportunity to share xD Thank you so much for the sweet words, sincerely. I was incredibly worried about disappointing people with that end but it was the original vision and I stuck to it. Everyone has been very sweet and kind with it too, so it makes me happy.
Thank you once more for reading and enjoying! Have a wonderful day 🌸

Anna Williams did not run through miles of forest nor face off with an infected with literally only a switchblade and sheer desperation all while fucking IN LABOR, then cut her daughter's umbilical cord with her own hands, clean her up, name her, love her, and hold her for hours even as she knew and felt that she was dying, prepared to stab herself with that same switchblade to save her baby, then beg her lifelong friend to take her girl somewhere safe where she could grow up happy and protected only for Marlene to fuckin sacrifice that girl, that baby she swore to her dying friend to take care of, for a shoddy at best chance to save an already irrevocably shattered world. Both the Williams ladies deserved better than that.

love when ppl make random ass aus for their fave ship that r just nonsensical and crazy . anyways jegulus au in which the potter’s run an animal shelter and usually order their pet supplies online but one day james goes to a chain store and finds regulus, who hates every single thing abt his shitty fucking pet store job and ONLY stays bc having a shitty job getting to pet cats on a leash is better than having a shitty job and not being able to. anyways james sees a twink and loses a few brain cells so he just pretends he has NEVER had a pet before and asks for regulus’ advice to talk to him. in his nervousness james is like “so dogs can’t eat chocolate right hahaha that’s crazy i’d go crazy” and regulus is like “i don’t get paid enough for this”

sonadow fankid except Sonic somehow adopts a regular ass hedgehog and insists on calling it his and Shadow's son meanwhile Shadow who's never seen what non-mobian hedgehogs actually look like before is morbidly unnerved at the gross little creature Sonic has strapped into the baby carrier he's wearing
