What’s the ‘rustle’ supposed to be? Are they implying that the girl is a different alien and that it’ll all start again? Are they actually Haru and, now, Noah? If not, where are they? Still just watching?
Why did the technologically way more advanced aliens seemingly dumb themselves down to humans? If they were going to do that, why did they need to eridicate the humans at all?
Kinda disappointing ending. Very rushed, very superficial. Makes sense if it was indeed axed, but still.
I might be totally off, but I took the whole thing to be a clumsy allegory.
I have no idea what the rustle was.
I don’t know if the two at the end are literally the same or just two people repeating what the originals did, but I sort of presume the latter, and I think the point was just to illustrate that history repeats itself.
I think part of the point too was that the aliens were only technologically more advanced. Sociologically, they’re at least as primitive as the humans they thought themselves so superior to, as illustrated, for instance, by their essentially reflexive determination to wipe out the humans.
Think of it as a commentary on colonialism - the more advanced newcomers think nothing of wiping out the natives, believing themselves to be inherently superior to them, and thereby proving that they’re not in fact superior - they’re just brutes with better weapons.
Again though, I could be totally off. It appears that the author took a bunch of ideas they wanted to explore along the way and squooshed them all down into a single chapter, so a bunch of details got lost along the way.
I feel like that was quite key to the whole bit, but who knows.

While I’m not sure that is indeed what it was going for and feels like giving it more credit than it should have, I do like this interpretation.

Isn’t the “rustle” an SFX for the girl removing her shirt, like in the first images of the first chapter, where Haru is revealing she’s an alien?
It may very well be
