At the end of the story, Ruili, now complete again after absorbing the fragments of her mind stored in the gynoids, asks Tse Ida to merge Taoluo's mind with her own, fulfilling her wish to be together with her brother]].

* WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis: The twins tell this outright to Taoluo in their fight, telling him that had he come to other members of his former organisation at once he would have found allies who would've willingly supported him (since many grew dissatisfied with how things were managed by current leaders, and Taoluo could serve as a unifier for their dissent, and helped him reach his goal faster and easier.
