The whole exchange between Garcia and Roberta at the end pretty much says it. "They're dead", and the lives that Roberta and Garcia will live from that point on... will be a different one. Well... different as in how they'll live in support in each other from that point on in more ways than one.

Which means they're likely not to return again outside of a 'what happened to them epilogue' , even in the manga.
That wouldn't surprise me I guess. But it's still irritating. A change like that can really make or break my reaction to a show or OVA, either positively or negatively.

Where did you hear that he gave them the go ahead though?
