I really love the way the mangaka wrote the captain's PTSD experience after encounter with the demon. The sensitivity with how she approached the subject and the somewhat blunt and sincere way to resolve the issue. Personally, this is one of the unique way this manga was created and why I really like it.

i like when author make well planned lovely epilogue like this.
It's honestly missing from a LOT of media to the point it almost seems like a forgotten aspect of narrative. It's the difference between a well told story with a start and an end; versus endless sequels and spin-offs that increasingly degrade the original work by their very existence. There must be closure, or a work is not complete.

And you're right about this specifically, because how many other works could you see ending with maybe a quarter chapter worth of Falin being saved/restored, and everybody walks off happy into the sunset? It's yet another example of how Ryōko Kui is a masterful writer in addition to being a talented artist.

Okay, so maybe a lot of manga that end like that miiiiiight have suffered from abrupt editorially mandated cancellation, but still.

So "desire" is something that can be regenerated after it gone?

Something is not aligned with winged lion backstory about it being disappointed after having its victim being selfless husk after their desires eaten
He just gave them depression looks like therapy works well to fix it.

The desired can probably grow back, but if you take it all in one go the person becomes a husk, I mean it sense, desires are something that changed everyday depending on the person. But well, they gave a good example on the chap, vegetal scraps can grow to become something tasty, but if you eat everything how tf is something going to grow? That's the lion problem, he was greedy when eating, he ate too much and didn't let any scraps go to waste.

So yes my biggest question was answered, the mana is not going to disappear it seems, only the personality that it had, good, seems like our team is not going to lose its job afterall.

I think it's because desire also driven by external factor. In here at least when Mithrun becomes a husk, the other elves told the possibility of getting new desire.
In winged lion case, well, the victim remain husk because no one tell them a new desire or something. It's like when you're a runner then accident make you can't run (even when your legs still attach). Your desire to be runner will gone and you might fall into spiral depression. When someone say "Want to try this piano lesson trial with me?", then you find out that piano is nice, you might end with a new desire.

Awwww that last panel was really touching. I thought I could not like Captain more but here we are. Sasuga Ryoko-sensei! The way everyone in the team cared and tried to cheer Mithrun up was so cute. And even though they only knew each other for some days, Kabru came to cared for him as well, as he tried to talk him out of his depression and worried that he might collapse due to running out of mana. Even if there would be no Dungeon to clear and no demon to defeat, the bond he made with others would not disappear.
