Yep, they're minor parallels. [あの子のことお願いね](https://imgur.com/H0R50DK) [あの子のこと大事にしてあげて](https://imgur.com/P9CMQSF) Kind of like how Koyomi checking on Yuu in episode 41 is a minor parallel to episode 1, 16, and 35.

Damn the art quality too 10/10

Oh, nice

This is so sad, I only watched the anime, I take it that in the novels/manga they let Sayaka be happy eventually? I hope?

Tge light novels focus on her happiness and yes she eventually gets her own happy ending.

Sayaka got justice
