He chases after her at the end of the scene and kisses her. They would go so well together. But it didn’t have to be.

Captain!” When Williams took his own life eight years ago, many of his fans said goodbye to him by posting pictures of their idol with these words. In today’s perspective, that makes the scene even more touching than it already was.
