I've replayed the end of CH 4.5 a number of times - enjoying the Bella ending So Much!
I just realized an important aspect of the MC/Bella relationship and what it means for him after going back to the preceding Namie event.
As the MC is pushing himself with Vic and Mila, he has a panic attack and has to really work to regain control.
Here, after his personal reveal to Nami, he starts to have another panic attack But guess whose arrival stops it...

Bella... Bella stops this panic attack ... She gets him and she comes to him, no conditions, no 'If' or 'But' - no words needed - they understand each other in a way even Nami likely can't.
Both of them have losses and hurts so personal that they are scarred, marked forever by those losses and hurts. The MC and Bella see their own hurt and loss in each other, something they did not cope well with when they were alone. They are not alone anymore.
That makes this ending Even better!!
