Sorry in advance for a very long post.

Anyway - please forgive me for the rather long and self-indulgent post, but I hope at least something interesting was here.

I would absolutely buy this ending, , if it was written literally like you described.

It would be a bit unsurprising, but surprises are overrated anyways :-). And this would give the right amount of closure and charm to longtime followers of the story.

I've always thought that a simple (In comparison to other large stories, like Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire) conclusion to Ryo's hero's journey arc would end back in Yokosuka. What you described is the best possible outcome of that story beat I can imagine.
