I got an idea here. What if, now just what if Takashi's parents turn out to be dead and both of Rei's parents are alive. wouldn't that cause a lot of trouble between the two. Takashi might feel extremely depressed, and Rei may try to comfort him, but it most likely would not work because he would tell her that she wouldn't understand and that he can't understand what he is going through. While Takashi is all depressed he either causes someone in the group to die due to a careless mistake, or possibly gets comfort from Saeko who can kinda relate better to Takashi and bring him out of his depression (also kinda of as repayment for when he  helped her back at the shrine to continue fighting). The odds of that are pretty slim but i think it would bring huge character development in Takashi, as well as Saeko.

as for Rei.... lets be real, she had like no character development what so ever through out the story, I mean maybe a little, but even at the police station she acted just as she had before the apocolyse. It is kinda obvious that she wants the whole group to put searching for her parents ahead of Takashi's. Or maybe i am interperting her tone of voice but, i just get that vibe from her. And it just seems that she is trying to use the past to get takashi, but past takashi is gone, because as the leader of a group you have to think of the current situation more than dwell on the life before the disaster struck.

I just feel that as the inncedent happend Takashi has been able to relate more with Saeko then Rei, I mean that is just my opinion. Of course he still has deep feelings for Rei, but I just feel that she just doesn't really understand him as much anymore. Even years of friendship can have less of an impact on someones life than a few days of the world burning.
