Watched the 22nd episode, though it's the end for the TV series the conclusion has yet to be reached.
Surprises and revelations were unlocked heralding unexpected twists and a saddening truth.
And, just like Ao I simply couldn't make of Truth at the end. Implications twistedly suggest that Ao was forced to shoot the Quartz Gun, and thus rewriting the timeline again, and whether I want to believe if that in did happen then is uncertain if the timeline became worse or improved upon.
That's if Ao truly shooted the Quartz Gun.
