But what if at one point Aiden saves Talon and Talon asks him why he did it since he’s never been exactly nice to Aiden and Aiden is like “you are still worth saving” 😭😭

Coda. You of all people. Grief.
The way Kes had to break Tuvok's hold on her &
The way he kept asking if she heard anything - anything at all.
Open yourself to the impressions around you,
The thoughts, the minds that are on this ship.
All the minds that are on this ship. So many voices.
They are a turbulent storm, and you are the one who must rise
above the tempest, to a place that is quiet. It's difficult.
You must lift yourself from the confusion of the storm.
Soar into the quiet space among the stars where everything is still.
Is there a voice that you can hear?
A single voice isolated in the stillness?
Is there anything?
Any presence in the void with you?
I can't hear anything.
Now I am with you, moving through the quiet space.
My thoughts join with yours, extending the range of the search.
(You have to find me.)
(Surely, you must know I'm here?)
Empty. Alone.
(We've shared so much.)
Failure. Forced.
Tactical Officer's Log:
Is there anything?
Is there anything?
Is there anything?
I('m searching for) a good friend, one I can never replace.
Is there anything? Is there anything? Is there anything?
A single voice, isolated in that void?
(we've shared so much.)
I don't want to come up for air.
My lungs force me to breathe.

Y'all, I think I've figured it out. Operating on the assumption that the finale is indeed an alternate timeline from the manga, then someone could have written on a page of the Book to rewrite reality to lead to the events of the finale sometime during season 5's events. In other words, this would explain the INCONSISTENCIES with things that were established or at least heavily implied/assumed prior and in the manga: Chuuya being a real vampire and not in control, nothing being planned, Dazai giving sincere speeches, Dazai really being shot and saying his "last words", Fyodor's hand not being injured, soukoku not killing Fyodor while in Meursault because they literally couldn't and Dazai needing Sigma to discover Fyodor's secrets because of that, Fukuchi's goal not being one that relied on Fukuzawa being alive since he clearly intended to kill him, etc etc too many more to count
Events and explanations in the finale feeling so contradictory and out of place, and characters feeling so ooc and not acknowledging any discrepancies, makes perfect sense if you consider that, up until a certain point, this was our canon timeline — until someone rewrote the ending of the arc with the Book, starting with Fyodor injuring his hand...! We only have one example of the Book being used to majorly rewrite reality in the manga, and when that happened, the main players — the ADA members — were aware that reality was changed, even though they did have memories of the new rewritten reality. BUT, Nikolai was unaware of this during that scene, and so also were all law enforcement because of the clause written on the page accounting for that, so what if the same thing could happen in this instance, to prevent all our characters in the finale from being aware that things had changed? We literally saw someone writing Nikolai's dialogue for him; imagine someone doing that during Dazai's final speech in the episode, and during all the rest of it! I don't know who this would be, but possibly a mysterious third party who got a hold of a different page from the Book somewhere and wrote things to turn out this way, because they wanted the ADA to win against Fukuchi and Fyodor? Maybe even because... this is the only way they can win?
Remember Atsushi asserting this plan, and how silly and too simple it sounded? What if someone else ended up doing just that, writing their own simple outcome for the ADA to win (as a narrative of course, which is probably why it had to start with the major catalyst of, again, Fyodor injuring his hand)? Additionally, if that's what happened, maybe the ending of the finale is a sort of side effect to the Book being used improperly in this way, leading to a destabilization of the timeline or a mishmash of other timelines into the anime one, leading to the alternate Fukuchi and Akutagawa we see there?

***SPOILERS for A Conjuring of Light***
I have been an avid reader for approximately two decades now. I have seen my fair share of characters dying, my fair share of pain within books. Almost two decades, and yet never once have I ever cried when a character died in a book. Until I read ACOL. When Hastra died, I may as well have been stabbed square in the heart alongside him--I screamed, put the book down right then and there, and started sobbing. Just when I thought we were safe--just when I thought I could breathe--one of my absolute favorite characters, gone, just like that. The worst part about it was that he went in a way that was so him--protecting someone. The only good part was that at least it was quick. He deserves that much. By the time we got to Emira's death, my tears had already run out... Congratulations @veschwab -- I truly applaud you as a writer, truly and sincerely, because the last stretch of ACOL is putting me through the wringer like no other book I've ever read before. I am utterly amazed.
tdlr I always say I'm not ok when reading books but this. this is the real deal. now excuse me while I go cope

One thing I love from the scene where Louis begs Lestat to turn Claudia and Louis says “Please” is that you can hear the “Anything for you Louis” even if it is never spoken aloud and one thing I love from the scene where Lestat drops Louis from the sky and Louis says “Let go of me” is this time Lestat says “Anything for you” aloud in a sadistic twist of that love and aargh I need to kiss the writers on the mouth
