The show never shows signs of Nayuki ever really knowing what happened.
As for rejection, rejection of what?  Friends?
Or was it him being mad, eg not able to save her? (yes, a kid is unlikely to think so far, but he acts way beyond his age as a kid anyway)
To me, it just seems like he didn't want to be interrupted at that point.


It's a possibility, but I don't think there's enough evidence to go beyond that.

Are you just poking my second point? It tickles xD

Anyway, he just lost Ayu. Nayuki knew that. He had the dream and ran to the hill. Kaori explained to Nayuki that she wasn't the only one who was in pain and that she couldn't console herself by keeping her pain to herself.. and when she met Yuichi at the bench.. they were able to sympathize with each other... and they had to fight on through the hard times.

His face after the dream of evidence of how hard it was to remember, and it hit him hard.. and if it did all those years later.. surely it was indicative of the pain he felt at the time it happened.
