The scenes preceding this moment was pretty visceral with the adrenaline wearing down and the panic setting in as everything comes into focus before finally just accepting that what is done is done and going out again at least this time with happy thoughts

Really felt like it needs an epilogue as my first reaction was thinking it ended too quickly
I don’t mind the outcome, although I do feel like it needs another chapter or two to really close up how everyone else must be feeling besides the reaction to the news.
I guess I would like something like a funeral or something to close up the story up neatly, although not doing that does make Akane’s scene stand out:
That Akane scene was powerful. She knew this whole side of Aqua that nobody else did (except maybe the director?). She is alone in mourning what could have been if Aqua had included her in his plans and they came up with something else.
I expect that we are going to get some focused scenes of the others going through their own mourning process in the final two chapters. Kana is famous for crying after all, so we are owed at least one dedicated crying Kana panel. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ruby decides to follow Aqua. She had just recently found out that Aqua was her long lost sensei. This is going to be reliving that loss all over again on top of losing her brother from this life. We are on the path of total tragedy here.

True, I am sure if Aqua didn’t kiss her that time they found his body Akane would have probably pieced together the Aqua/Gorou link.
Overall lots of pain incoming,especially as you said, for Kana who has made Aqua her “star” and I sure Ruby will also not handle it well either.
Who know maybe B-Komachi performs at the Dome as a send off with Kana doing one last performance in Aqua’s memory.
