Those freesia flowers being shot at were Kano’s all too finite and inverse peace offering prospects in the real world or realization that he's not given to be grounded in it. Was Higuchi a filtered yet responsively unprecedented extension of his fragmented conscience? Aizawa working in his regular hometown office as opposed to a vengeance enforcement proxy and Phantom Killer is the real him. He's so brilliant at camouflage in his Phantom Killer's world because it's characteristic of his invisibility and unremarkability in real life. The strongest polished trait denoting who he is manifested there as well.
It's interesting because in the beginning where Kano went to the house of that old mother's son who shot himself and Kano profoundly apologized to the mother, was the scene mirroring the overloaded dynamic with his own mother since he wanted to be a good son but failed himself as it is revealed later? However I don't believe the real him, Aizawa, truly died. Kano Hiroshi may have passed in order for him to function and his meta awareness as a non-atrophied catalyst of adaptive continuance.
At the very end Kano acknowledged his attention on the reader. Couldn't that have implied he's a cannibal endeavoring the meta-game? No matter if the reader had the subliminal nuance response of pertained survival to capture him between the frames with adaptive observation he would need to survive from the projected "figment" of any escapist-compartmentalized limitation to dired resolutions, which represents the final tuning probes into his disjointed world by the reader. That's why my theory is that even if those meta adaptive representations pass away he needs to control how he'll survive. It's nearly graceful desperation. He survived due to being a step above it all, almost manifesting into a new world in reality.
When Kano was focusing on the reader at the end he wasn't truly connecting with the reader like his previous pursuers, his existence thoroughly persisting and enhanced into the otherworldly dimension was what he chose for his legacy mechanism. I do believe he physically survived but his internally collapsed or "reformed" self was able to travel beyond the parameters of the manga in the end. I think that when showing he was bleeding out on the ground and surrounded by all the people who wanted him dead, the Phantom's presence and their conversation supports the near fatality of his intrinsic injuries from being trained by the ethically questionable institution (office he worked at in real life) but the "flashback" to him holding a gun and going to murder that bully was an urge dissipated by rerouting to a larger picture or grandiose evaluation of highly indispensable possibility. It looks like existential acceptance on the surface when he converses to the reader but his facial expression on the last panel suggests a kind of dark moment just like the other incidents betrayed by who his character is. So it invites more than just literal absurdity. There's something much more than that.
In the ending, unlike his previous pursuers who all had a degree of violent dysfunctionality to their meta consciousness which fed Kano's, the last pursuer is many faces without malice who had been observing Kano. Kind of like a template he could etch himself onto. Perhaps another theory is that, Freesia isn't about the complete conquest of psychologically vulnerable zones by a single angle since no one is without flaws and more about criticizing how people will tend to elevate and idealize the version of someone manufactured by the societal proliferation of violence through adapted trial and error. To support this, Higuchi by her own words having insisted on becoming a guinea pig in order to reach and play with the darkest depths of the human mind, and the scene where that world was crumbling when she told Kano he didn't have to come back to rejuvenate her thirst (for it), was evidence on top of the fact that she initially manifested in Kano's world due to a prolongation of his own conscience that he wasn't naturally drawn to violence.
I don't know if it's safe to say but could the reason why his predators including readers be on his nose on continuing to see him be because the false prize can only be taken from him near proximally when no one can truly connect with his real self that would by itself be impossible to track in reality; so everyone knows what he stereotypically looks like as targeted prey but not exactly who he is "in real life" as he could be much more prone to invisibility. He sees the stealth activity and movement before they touch the real him. And in the final panels, lack of malice by his more steady adamant pursuers doesn't mean sensitization to truly attempted connection individual to individual. That's why he could sacrifice a stereotypical disposition to be able to communicate that since it was never risky for him. They are many faces he may not directly see, but he remaining as a more or less idealized image regardless doesn't pin him in his regular reality. Due to others' M.O. and predestinations he is not lenient to protect himself to survive and not be assumed a fool who grants what they think was extracted out of him. That there is no exception to this because of the preconsciously mutual setup is what the very last panel was hoping to get across.

This is both the best and worst manga I've ever had the opportunity of getting through to happen to me. It pains me a lot really. I decided to post the niche media theorizing closed arc openly instead of on my profile along with some older thoughts on the manga to show what an incel could rep, and not mildly. No normiefag is going to go out of their way to handle a manga like Freesia in the first place. Or hated on and dismissed (underwhelming). And I'm proud because this site is an occasionally eloquent space I can contribute to.
Thank you for the recommendation, and sorry friend. It definitely "could've been different" as it's neat to analyze Freesia. All's easier said than done though, plus we're similar: elaborate husks. A field-manned asymmetric wavelength further weighing down our repressible sensitive natures or is that off the mark? Our encounter wasn’t a post-cynical (or perhaps..?) heedless monument, it was just a classic monument if you strip it away. Epiphanies exchanged or not doesn't produce true connection, only burdened suggestion. I for one don't believe that's cope because I find it difficult to trust anyone anyway. That's what the actual factor was.
It’s been a long troubling ride. It’s late but I acknowledge your skills, and maybe you partially glimpsed something in me as well, however short. The roles were switched am I right? Something unlocked. Perhaps it was always that way from the start. Before I thought you would have been disappointed but I think my current interpretation is enjoyable. This is my gift to battered souls including myself like you.
