>what Anthy really means to her?

It'd be out of character for Utena to go on wrangling with that for too long. She just doesn't take long to make up her mind about things, and placed in a situation where she has to make a decision, she makes it and lives with it. I see that as one of the central pillars of her character. She's a decisive person by nature, and she's learned from bitter experience that if you let things go too long, they have a way of coming back and biting you on the ass.

However - don't make the mistake of assuming that this thing is over and done with just because both participants say so. Maybe they make that assumption, but that's no reason for you to. When was anything ever that simple in the real world, let alone a world where everything is louder? Especially at their age?

>Why is Corwin dealing so well?

What makes you so certain he is? What, exactly, could he have done other than what he did? You have to make the best you can out of any given situation, and as another poster pointed out, he hasn't lost anything; he's simply been informed that he doesn't stand to gain anything.

Besides, bursting into tears and railing against the injustice of the universe in public is unseemly.
