When reading the second last chapter...I initially thought Clark might have truly been a cold, heartless person after all. His dead eyes as he kills Alex and his last few words to him were absolutely cold and ruthless. But when I read the last chapter, I think Clark's eyes are dead not because he's heartless, but because he lost the one precious person in his heart, the doctor. When Clark went home and fed the fishes, my heart broke for him. In a way, I can't help but feel that the fishes and the fish tank itself are a metaphor for the doctor and Clark.
Note what was said in chapter 39, 'they're alive and well in that tank because they have faith in me'. The doctor(fish) would still be alive if he had believed in Clark's(tank) warnings, although arguably a bird in a cage would suit this metaphor better. (I am potentially over-analyzing this though)
I felt that the ending was good, but I think it could've been better, but hey, that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, this was an enjoyable read for me.
