I guess that's the heart of why I dislike Shiro's happy ending. He doesn't acknowledge his mistakes, exactly, he just admits the futility of them. He tries a different way to get what he wants, without ever really valuing anything other than getting what he wants. It's a sympathetic ending for someone who never really deserved the audience's sympathy.
