Well. I said I would take it slowly, but I reneged on my own promise. This is worse than Fuuka. Why do I do these things to myself? 😭

Oh no! I can’t believe you blazed through this whole series in a couple days. Now you have to wait for the final chapter with the rest of us.
You mentioned Akane in the other thread, and I think that she has become the most interesting character to me (my favorite will always be Miyako, mom of my heart). In this chapter, Akane literally became the narrator for us. I think it is interesting that she is criticizing Aqua’s plan, essentially criticizing the author’s plot at a meta level.
Now you can start watching the anime! It has been an excellent adaptation. The second season ended roughly halfway through the story (chapter 80).

Don’t know why I was sure it was completed, that’s why I went through with it.
About Akane, as you mentioned I thought she was a meta character. The difference is that for me she was the reader insertion in the story. Not sure if you understand what I mean.

Looks like the last chapter will be the Ruby chapter. I had thought that it might end up with a Ruby suicide, but the tease at the end gives me some hope. It was nice to see more of Kana’s grieving process. Also, it seems like Akane kind of became the main character this chapter.

I know Aqua said from the very beginning that he intended to get revenge no matter the cost to himself, but it’s still a little surprising to see it end like this.

As the expression goes, paraphrased: “When plotting revenge against your enemy dig two graves. One for your enemy and one for yourself.”

Both Aqua and Kamiki being dead now also means that there is little reason to dig all that deep into Aqua’s actions to find Kamiki. Ruby and Akane know that he was looking for their father and maybe the director, but I don’t think the police are going to step away from their serial killer case to think too much about it.
