And, sure, you could say that buying the house won't bring them back, but the entire situation being left ambiguous as it is means no hard confirmations nor any solid argument that Haruto can make to make the situation any better.

Tbh I feel that works better? Cause assuming the parents are dead, it's a pretty melancholic ending, Manami doing her damndest to get that slight bit of comfort from back when she was happy, knowing it won't bring anyone back but it'd hopefully soothe her heart. Personally, my experiences with losing family and eventually a house made me feel more in pain as I was constantly reminded of what I had lost and only started to move on when I found my own place after a year, the ambiguity could have mean Manami's struggle against her own despair is long on going, but she'll at least have the comfort of when she was happy, like how I'm still a fan of stuff I liked as a kid. You can get that interpretation, but at the same time, I don't think the target audience could really get that unless they experience it themselves which christ I hope they don't have to
