Ishida from my perspective subscribes to the notion that all actions have consequences. Everybody has to reap the results of all their decisions and actions, even if it takes many years — and they come either as gruesome deaths or being forced to live with the stigma of guilt. People can grow from it but the stigma of their choices will burden them and it cannot be forgotten

Touka made a decision that lead to a disaster for many people and yet she was protected from the fallout. Yoshimura forgave her despite her ignoring his warning and Ayato claimed his sisters culpability to keep her safe. The constant references to the murders Rabbit committed insinuate she will be held responsible it does not just have to legal.

Being angry with someone if they regret a bad decision is cruel but sometimes they have a right to be since if someone was told their choice was selfish but refused to consider the advice until it was too late and the ramifications cause a problem. Being regretful or apologizing will not repair the damage inflicted and forgiveness is not possible.

Two Rabbits being discovered will force the truth of the matter to be revealed and what happens then depends on the actions of the characters themselves.

The series has emphasized a cycle of revenge and the tragedy that results from it but has shown that choices are not forgotten and people must be held culpable. Touka and Juzuou are inverted in their character arcs to a degree. Juzou changes because of Shinohara's guidance and dedication in treating him as a person rather than a lunatic but ironically despite the fact Yoshimura sheltered Touka and gave her employment but she disregarded his advice to exact revenge on the organization that was responsible for the deaths of her family and it lead to catastrophe for Yoshimura since the establishment he spent a deacde using to keep the peace in the 20th ward was destroyed because of her reckless choices.
