<p>There are two "lies" that I can see in the last parts:</p>

<blockquote class="spoiler">
  <p>  1. The lie is the promise between Kousei and Kaori "Let's play again together"
<br>
  2. Kaori lied that she liked Watari at the beginning of the series</p>

<p>The real lie is that she never got to play with him again. As a child, she fell in love with him when she saw him play, and her dream was to one day stand by his side and play along with him. She managed to achieve her dream and play on the same stage along with him. After that she promised to do it again with him, but she died before it could happen.</p>
