The ending is left very open - it doesn't reveal any concrete details about the nature of the Gymnasium.
I think that Monica's bouquet/wreath had become several metres long is to imply that Fine did live a fairly long life, while Monica kept working on her wreath, playing in the Gymnasium and waiting for her to come back.
The idea of Fine and Monica being sent there initially because they committed suicide probably is not the case, since it seems Monica died in a fire and Fine fell from a boat with other people on it and looks to have been reaching up for help.

Most black tea you should be okay using water straight from the kettle, but the flavour of other teas will get a bit ruined by boiling water.
Coffee is also very temperature sensitive; it really needs to be right at about 93 degrees or it won't taste good.

I think the joke at the end of this chapter can be made to work in English. Some possibliities:

We toss around a bunch of different versions and suggestions for lines like this. In this case, I feel like no one phrase in English, on its own, really captures the meaning clearly enough. Because it's a kind of important line, we just keep it as something simple and readable and use the annotation to make sure that, in the end, it can be accurately understood by everyone.

I think your first suggestions is for sure a viable one to put in to the text in terms of how it reads aloud, but for things like that there becomes another concern of how well ESL readers can comprehend it when we get a bit too bendy with grammar and punctuation.

"If I can become a civil servant with a stable life and otome games, I guess I'll be happy."

( ̄^ ̄)ゞ

That line resonates with me a lot.

For anyone who likes visiting places from anime and manga, I'm 95% sure that's the aquarium near Shinagawa Station, Tokyo that is known for its dolphin shows.
