"Because this is the only thing we can do." (Contains heavy spoilers)
After the Architect Vanessa went rogue and the A.R.C. Architects indiscriminately slaughtered humans, PAFF and her companions stopped Vanessa, leaving the chaos behind as a history marked by many graves. Vanessa's existence remains unknown to all but those who stopped her and those involved with the Library; ordinary citizens remember it simply as the Architect Uprising. A.R.C. officially announced that the Library system has been closed and a different type of database has been established. And yet, the curtain does not fall on this story just yet....
After realizing she had died in a car accident before her debut (Aroma White) and was reborn as Aroma through another person's body (Minamiya Kaori) with her memories before age 15 lost, she discovered that her 'Eye of Horus' ability had been awakened by Nora during the Vanessa incident. PAFF has resumed her musical activities, having accepted both versions of herself.
Feeling guilty after learning that her fans were sacrificed at her request during the Vanessa incident, she became a freelance journalist and a streamer specializing in arrangement. She uses the money she earns to run a charity foundation to help victims. Her misunderstanding with PAFF has been resolved, and they have become very close.
He sacrificed himself during the Vanessa incident and was in a state equivalent to death. He was brought back to life by his creator, Nora, and now lives alone in Node 08 while working as a musician. He uses a mechanical way of speaking both online and in reality. People who don't know his true identity tend to accept it as a persona. Recently, he has been obsessed with a game called "Mandora III," so he is less active on the internet than usual.
He has cleared all the false accusations that had piled up (such as the fake information that he was Æsir) and fortunately regained his former reputation and public favor. However, he is completely fed up with A.R.C. and ignores all requests to return. Instead, he is continuing the band activities that had been suspended. His sister Shannon has left the network and is undergoing rehabilitation in a hospital to adapt to the real world. He also keeps the memories of the late Cherry and commemorates her together with JOE.
Realizing that data on Architects and other subjects still exists within his family's chip, he went to Node 13 with his partner Sasha to investigate ancient civilizations.
After Cherry was seriously injured in an accident and subsequently lost her life, he commemorated her with the former band members. In the meantime, as Xenon completely annihilated the Baro gang, Joe bribed the remaining members to carry on the will of Saxon, the former owner of his shop and his mentor.
After stopping Vanessa, he still serves as the captain of the A.R.C. Eagle-01 exploration team and lives happily with Rin. Occasionally, he encounters ConneR, who comes to the forbidden zone to find artifacts, but he lets him go without saying much.
After regaining her past memories, she successfully escaped from the A.R.C. that had bound her for so long. She now lives happily with Sagar under a strictly hidden identity, running a botanical garden. It is said that she occasionally visits Node 03 to trace the remnants of her memories.
After stopping Vanessa, Nora returned to Node 03 and continues to devote herself to medical activities as a team leader of the Kyuuhoukai. She also spent three months repairing and reactivating her friend ROBO_Head. Although it took a considerable amount of time to awaken his previous personality, she finally succeeded in getting her friend back.
