went to reread the last chapter again bc of nostalgia but:
i love love love the last chapter. every panel contributes to a hidden message—one that might be easily ignored if not viewed with care.
everything is up to interpretation and dark spoilers/speculations ahead...
The "person" visiting emma is widely believed to be just a product of her imagination again. This is strongly supported by her insisting to take her medication (likely for her hallucinations) later.
That person is likely fake Elios bc of the shoe shown is the same one the real Elios wore when he got stabbed! You can say that Emma is happy, but still stuck in her own world.
It's a sad ending but recovery isn't linear. I like to think she eventually still managed to recover, somewhat. Time makes the pain tolerable. And a childish part of me imagined she got with Yohan in the end. They might be both broken and traumatized, but at least they got each other<3 Or Yohan got together with the black haired girl, idk. But hey, anything that's not heavily implied yet is still just interpretation! And that's fitting for a story like this. It isn't open ended to cause frustration, but vague enough to fill in the blanks
And a much disturbing thought was that she committed suicide by the sound of "thud" at the end. Might be the door, might be something else. But that's up to interpretation.^^
