Ok so seems I'm the odd one out here with how I feel about this episode, it felt like a lot of wasted potential to me, this show has been one of my favorite things this year but this episode I am not even entirely sure how to feel about.
Everyone responsible for the war and countless innocent deaths get to go scot free, the only person who is punished is the guy who was held up as a champion by the oppressed people of the earth, that just doesn't sit right with me. Even beyond that big scale stuff, on smaller scale nothing really resolved in a satisfying way for me, relationship between Suletta and Prospera, relationship between Delling and Mio, at no point does Prospera even acknowledge what an awful abusive mother she was to Suletta who nothing but adored her even after realizing that herself, until the very last moment she tries to manipulate Suletta, same for Delling, we can't even really say how much blood is on this guy's hands but he gets a happy ending because he abused his daughter for her own good or something?? Redemption achieved?? Just so bizarre.
So much stuff jammed into a single episode and none of it was resolved in a satisfying manner. I honestly don't know what to make of it, I'm kinda just sad with how it all went.
@arya48 @preston Yeah it doesn't seem fair that Shaddiq got imprisoned while Prospera and others went free. On the one hand I understand wanting to break the cycle of violence/revenge, but they could have at least acknowledged how abusive Prospera was. She should have faced some consequence.
I also wonder if the souls of Elan 4, Norea and Sophie got transferred somewhere or just Ericht...

Also Mio's mother, she was also in data storm like Ericht, also in a keychain? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
So many threads left dangling.
Yes this is still the big question left in my head as well. We still have almost no info on Mio's mother. I was thinking it would turn out that she lived in quiet zero the same way that Eri lived in Aerial, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I also dont quite understand how Elan 4, Sophie, Norea, and all of the other's who had died were all present in the data storm if they died far away from it. Does this imply that somehow all permet is linked?
I seriously have no idea, some people suggested that those permet ghosts were just stuff made up from people's memories, it's why people saw ghosts of people that they were close with, sounds like bs to me but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
