Yakumo is obsessing over "moving on" and forgetting Sanada, even going so far as to make his painting for the contest a flower offering, as if to finally say goodbye to her
But at the same time, he doesn't want to move on, he feels her ghost haunting him in everything he makes and doesn't want to just forget about her.
The advice then, is that you can live with that grief and that pain, and bear it in your heart and your art as long as you want to. That's good advice, you never truly forget your grief, you just learn to live with it, and that's okay.
I was really hoping for them to overcome their issues and be happy together or at the very least happy as friends, so it sucks to see it end this way, where they leave each other, neither seems really happy, one had romantic feelings but the other had platonic feelings, they cant even go forward as friends, and they just accept that with smiles and it ends. Title is bitter-sweet and ironic, as she gives up the chase in the end
