Spoiler Alert.......
hm..Did Annerose ever cried at that very moment? I don't think so. In
the novel when Reinhard asked if she ever loved Kircheis, she chose to
keep silent. In the animation, she just closed her eyes without saying
a word.
I think it's ok for that episode to be a little bit over-emotional.
Afterall, Kircheis is a lot more than just a best friend of Reinhard.
Reinhard has been relying on him for the past 10 years or so, and now
it's because of his ignorance that he loses someone really important
forever.
