While I loved that interaction, that is all we got about something that could be taken as two of the most important (alive) people in Gojo's life mentioning him, thinking of him with fondness, or coming anywhere close to mourning him.

Then we got two pages of resolution of whatever emotional turmoil these two have going on

#And I do love the Megumi and Shoko scene! I do love it! But come on!!!#When I say Gege Akutami is introducing a lot of whatever characters to give them an ending #and then doing nothing in comparison with the main cast I mean this kind of stuff #I get there's five episodes left and a lot of things and characters he wants to give closure to but precisely #There's just five chapters left. When Nanami died there was that short yet heavy scene between Ijichi‚ Shoko and Gojo #in which they mused there was only the three of them left anymore. There's nothing of the sort for Shoko or Ijichi now at the very end #The closest thing we've gotten is that one moment between Megumi and Shoko I just posted #And these dynamics are heavy and they imply very important characters pertaining to the main cast #Yet there's two pages of these two. Not to talk about the rushing of arcs that's been happening in these two last chapters #But if there's going to be truly a second part I think not entirely closed narrative arcs is not as terrible #But not closing 'emotional' arcs? That feels more clumsy to me. I don't think carrying 'emotional' arcs to a second part is as easy #The emotiveness and weight of the dynamics belong to this story. The author could extend on the second part more on idk #Megumi dealing with the loss of Tsumiki or Shoko with loneliness or whatever. For instance #But the very moment of grieving over Tsumiki or Gojo with everything they've been right after their loss with everything their loss means?#It belongs to this story alone. Just like the moment of dealing with Nanami's recent decease belonged to that moment/this story #And I feel the author is not giving at all the main characters almost any time to breath that for now. And idk. It's sad #And it's awkward writing I think. The absence so noticeable #And I feel it's something that can't be as easily done or added or developed later or on another story/part #So the numerous panels of much more secondary characters rushing narrative and emotional arcs for and with them feels to me a weird choice #All while Yuuji just made an offhand comment about Choso. All while Shoko had barely nothing at all. Ijichi and Todo had nothing #The Kamo boy had one panel. Nor Yuta nor Megumi nor Yuuji made any comment about Gojo #Perhaps we could admit those letters and that faint smile of Megumi as closure enough. But it's so weird #The panel proportion between main characters and very secondary characters and what they're being used for. It's weirdly distributed I think #It feels awkward and anticlimactic in a bad way #And it's very much a very clear example of what I meant every time I said JJK had the potential to be amazing and it's just mid haha #*sigh* it is what it is I guess #I don't want a second part at all tbh I hope they're not going with that #I talk too much #JJK spoilers
