This is exactly what Aqua wanted for Ruby. For her to live her whole life lying and coping through everyday. I'm sure he didn't want her to be happy at all and just to be a meaningless husk that people idolize.
...not.
Wtf was this ending. Threw all character development out the window. Aqua's death and darkness was foreshadowed, sure, but the author had to bother with showing that he actually enjoyed acting and that he wanted to live as Aqua still. He could've justified Aqua's death better in a higher stakes environment. But he's really trying to convince us that Aqua didn't really have a choice but to stab himself to death like wtf. All that brains he's shown to have and this is the kind of ending he gets lmao.
And Ruby! We never really got to see much of Ruby's POV, but nevertheless, her's might be the most tragic still. First life she had cancer and was neglected by parents, doesn't recover and dies to her sickness. Second life her mom and idol gets murdered in her presence, now even her brother is dead too. At least Aqua got to live out his life and be a doctor in the first one before shit went down. Ruby is miserable in the first life and miserable in the next one. What's the point of her success if she doesn't even have loved ones around her?
Don't even get me started with Kana, they always pushed her to the side making it seem like she's really the only one who can make Aqua be himself as a teenager and therefore be happy in the end, didn't get that did we? They also never show her successful in her acting career.
Everyone was just kinda traumatized and had to lie and keep living. He also never did anything about reincarnation and crow girl just kinda disappeared. And I know some will be like "but that's real life you can't expect everything to be happy" THIS IS A STORY. If I wanted real life I would've watched a documentary or even true crime, cause that shit gets depressing.
But this? We were pulled into the premise of a fantastic al reincarnation murder showbiz story where you can't help but to want to root for the characters to find happiness. The author had built them so much and just threw them out the window. He doesn't care about the characters, which is an important part of writing. He just wanted this story to be done with.
I used to recommend this to people I know but now I know not to lmao.
