I was just thinking about that, just like how the first chapter in Part 2 is called "Bird and War" mirroring Part 1's "Dog and Chainsaw". It's possible that the last chapter will be appropriately called "I, Love, War"

Building on the idea that Asa is the next, more benevolent war devil I imagine what does that mean in the general context of a "benevolent war", we already know that Yoru's is "total warfare" as it aligns with her plan of an eternal conflict. I think Asa could be tied to the concept of deterrence, "The Fear of War that preserves the Peace." I don't know how she would do this, maybe threatening to destroy the whole world to halt conflict?

And it all makes...a lot of sense actually, especially on a personal level it means a sacrifice for Asa, she always yearned and sought validation for being seen as "in the right" so for her to take the mantle of war and go down in the eyes of the world as a villain, a monster...a devil in order to prevent the world from ending is pretty poetic way to end her character.

It also loops back around in Asa fulfilling Yoru's desires to not be forgotten, which is something already addressed in the "Asa is the next war devil" theory.
