How do CLAMP manage to make such an angsty chapter so utterly sweet and heart-warming?

Since I have nothing new to contribute to the discussion, a little ramble will hereby follow... I agree with previous posters saying how this chapter beautifully illustrates our heroes' relationships with one another, which makes me worry about their eventual, final goodbye. I think there will be too much sadness for me to handle when that moment comes (even though it's still fairly far away, and even though it may not even have to come to it, if Mommy and Daddy decide to go with their kids of course ^^)... Anyway. Syaoran smiling was a nice touch; even I am starting to miss Cloney somewhat now.
And, last but definitely not least, the h u g. I almost got a little teary-eyed.
Please move on to the next world soon, please move on...
I don't know if it's just the scans, but the artwork in this chapter seemed to have a more sketchy quality than usual - in the sense of thin lines, and not fully connected. Maybe it's just me, but I thought it was a wonderful effect for the chapitre.
I reacted to the artwork as well, and I agree - it does fit. As a matter of fact, I've felt that CLAMP have been using too many graytones lately, instead of the more black-and-white art trademarking TRC, and this chapter rather brings back some of the older feeling, and still feels completely new and appropriate for the, in lack of a better word, "shattered" mood.
