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.
