She's finally starting to face the world without fear. (Including her classmate Molly, who seems to be very happy about it.) And she doesn't care. Hanako's scars are facing away from the camera.
Similarly, in her Good Ending, when Hanako kisses Hisao in public. 
Her physical form mirrors the fact that emotionally, she no longer hides anything.
The final CG in "Misstep", Hanako's explosive and traumatic bad end, is the one place in the game where her face isn't obscured by anything. Considering the plot of the book centers around a boy who lost both of his parents in a tragic accident and is stuck in the middle of the ocean (almost) alone with no other person to relate to, and you can see why Hanako seems to have taken such a liking to the book. When you first meet her in the library, you discover that she's reading Life of Pi. More-or-less self-explanatory after a point in the route. As the route starts, the video includes a scene of Emi trying to get an apple on her own, but not quite managing it until she rides on Hisao's shoulders. 
If she can't get close to people who would otherwise have normal and happy lives, how much more difficult must it be for her to get close to Hisao, someone whose heart condition could quite literally kill him at any time, and who she runs a very high risk of actually losing? Specially considering that, to win favor points with her in Act 1, you have to make Hisao have physical problems? In the end, it makes the fact that their relationship succeeds all the sweeter. After losing her father in an accident, she doesn't want to risk getting close enough to someone else she might just lose.
Near the end of Emi's path, you find out why she tries so hard at keeping people at arm's length. Misha's Love Hurts past is what puts this on perspective: she acted the most forceful when Hisao had more direct romantic trouble, to keep him from being hurt like she was - despite it potentially backfiring in Shizune's route. Actually, Misha also shows interest in all of Hisao's romantic relationships, with Emi and Shizune's routes being the ones where she's more blatant. It's a tender moment for you and Misha, and arguably a Moment of Awesome for her - but more so when you realize that years ago Misha felt the pain of rejection from a loved one and doesn't want Hisao to go through the same thing. 
If you make the wrong choice in Emi's route near the end, of all people, Misha comes to save you and gives you a chance to apologize to Emi and make things right.
