I’d thought you were talking about how this all happens within the dream world and how that would mean their lives aren’t in danger after all. But then it occurred to me that
this threat remains. After the dream world comes to an end, their lives would once again be in danger if Kanata doesn’t continue to hate Haruka. I mean, I guess they could just fake it until the danger passes, but Riki states at the end of Refrain that the two of them had made up, so if they were planning on doing that, they obviously aren’t doing a very good job.
In which case, what interpretation are you referring to?
