Wait, I'm mildly confused by the ending.
That last panel would imply their souls did reincarnate, they found each other, and got married (which is super sweet), but soul severance just meant their souls were destroyed after thousands of years in captivity, and their act of love didn't move anyone, as the sculpture would indicate. Did I just miss something which said 'and at the end of their sentence they would live one last life before their souls would be destroyed'?
