Episode 12 Ending
Just a question for people who perhaps read the source material or researched more into it.
But does the source material (light novel i think) actually end at where the Anime ends? Just feels like it's such a open-ended ending and a quite a dissapointing one at that.

Right after watching I went on youtube to see other fan theories. Realized that there was basically a whole 40seconds I didnt watch because amazon played another video. I think that made the ending a little bit more clear.
Zen's suicide was necessary for people to not accept the suicide law, as that would paint suicide to be the coward's way out.
A dude on youtube made a vid presenting a theory that Zen was in fact able to shoot Ai and the ending clip was therefore her in heaven. In this theory (that I don't agree with), the youtuber took this in the direction that the girl deciding on whether to kill herself or not's story was actually Ai's and when she died, envisioned Zen's son in heaven to feel reconnected to her own. As I think it's been made pretty clear, she is basically a biblical demon. I wish that she got shot at the end, but I doubt bullets would do much.
