Nyaruko still craves Mahiro, and Hasuta feels the same. Kūko desires Nyaruko yet insists that both Nyaruko's and Mahiro's "first encounter" should belong to her.

Mahiro merely seeks a slice of peace; he refuses to become a romantic plaything for a Nyarlathotepan, Cthughan, or a shot‑like Hasturan. Whether he endures remains uncertain but hopes.
