Marisa says good bye and runs up to hold Reimu's hands. The car is never hinted at and there is no struggle. You're simply assuming the worst instead of looking at whats presented.
Hmm Yukiyuzen, on the previous page Deibu pretty much dumped Marisa, if anything, this holding hands is a "WAIT!" kind of holding hand, not a "couple holding hands", dunno if it's "desperate_struggle" but it sure isn't "couple holding hands".

Thats pure speculation. We have plenty of problems with people using tags out of context as it is. (post #39119 Yeah! That Reimu is a shithead for trying to defend her sister!)
That said, if Reimu slapped the hand/braid away, I could see your point but the desperate_struggle tag still wouldn't make sense. Theres no struggle and theres no "life-or-death" scenario.

Read my comment again, you'll see that you missed the point of it. It wasn't about this being "desperate struggle" which I don't think it is, but that it sure isn't "couple holding hands" when in the previous page Deibu dumped Marisa.

Reimu's hand/braid is in Marisa's hand/braid. Whats there to discuss?
"couple holding hands" implies that they are still a couple, which does not seem to work with the previous page as Reimu has left Marisa Basically what JIE said

This, It maybe nitpicking or silly, but we have to stablish clearly the situation, since it looks more like a "WAIT!" kind of holding hand, than a lovey-dovey couple holding hand, all because the previous page pretty much broke up the couple.

No. We don't.
You're right, I'm wrong. I used the term "couple" lightly, poor choice of words. My bad.
yukiyuzen said: Holding hands was never the topic. The desperate_struggle tag was. JIE was just trolling me.
I wanted you to realize what Rootbeer actually meant, you took it as him arguing about the tag, when it was about the "couple holding hands" thing.
Reimu!From here onwards, Marisa will take it easy!Farewell, big sis!Marisa is so admirable for thinking that being a good father for the little ones comes first!
