This has to be the most foreshadowing bad-ending couples of all time T-T
It didn't read that way to me... Horror yuri usually relates back to some aspect of lesbian/queer experiences in some way, and I think one way to read this story is an allegory for Ageha refusing to abandon a gay friend who is being ostracized (an invisible monster) while denying her own sexuality so people will think she's "normal". Reading it this way, the heterochromatic eyes she has at the end would symbolizes her acceptance and reciprocation or Kagari's sexuality, but on her own terms. One eye is black because she's accepted the worldview Kagari works inside of, but she still has an independent eye of her own.
The reason I don't think this is a bad end couple is that Kagari's whole thing is "run away and be in lesbians with me regardless of the consequences". Ageha refusing to do that even after she accepts her relationship with Kagari makes it clear that she's actively rejecting a codependent relationship dynamic. Yes, they might have picked each other because of fate/convenience/lack of options, but she's focused on building a constructive relationship from that.
I'm often too focused on the surface to see these things so thank you for this lovely analysis
