Coo probably fell down from something, so did Rakka, and died that way, Kana must have drowned, Reki ran over by a train, Nemu died in her sleep, and the other one who's name I always forget- i don't remember what she dreamt :| im interested in knowing what is the “Day of Flight?” do they go to heaven or just be able to fly over the walls?

Your reviews are as good as always, of course. One thing I'm realizing about the Japanese is that they're an intensely emotional people. But that's oversimplifying things, so maybe it's better to say that they interact with emotional reality in a different way from (perhaps better than) the west. There's an awareness in the collective psyche of just how closely people are connected. So from that perspective, an ending like the one you describe makes perfect sense.
