Oh ok...

It was resolved by an expression of true remorse. I can work with that angle

Thanks for the chapter :D

Watari with a gun.

I think this is a solid conclusion to Luna's arc. Her attempting to atone for her mistakes and being willing to sacrifice herself for Watari and Ridley's sake demonstrates that she finally understood why people care for each other. I find it elegant that the chapter ends with Luna gazing upon an Earth destroyed by people like her, with the spirit of beauty and human connection by her side this time. On one level, Luna gazing at the ruined Earth symbolizes her reflecting upon her mistakes. On the other, it generalizes this potential for redemption and inherent goodness to all of humanity.

When one reads the white space on the last page as the Sun from the previous page, the final page even depicts a lunar eclipse! The light that Luna reaches for is only marginally diminished by Earth's umbra. It is quite hopeful.

This is all things considered, a neat little character arc.
Thank you for the translation!

This arc ended without her forgiven herself. I think it's the best way to end this arc, given she sin she committed.

And some final pages there are beautiful af, both in the art and in the story. I'm satisfied.

Spoiler: Off-topic Vantablack

No wonder why I have a sudden hit in my mind when Ridley mention the name Vantablack. I learned about existence of the thing from one of the funniest Tom Scott videos .

Oooo
Potential for a true redemption arc
Make up for your crimes by striving to be better ay?
And I'm to witness it
I was originally against a third wheel but oh don't I love a good redemption arc though

That works too
No third wheel and I get the sense this experience has truly brought her towards a healthier state
So long as I don't catch you on yer bullshit again I cool with it

Have a nice day
