Clotho's more vulnerable here, and indeed her primary desire is for the Dark Sisters to be together again. She appears to be more respectful towards Geryon compared to the Abyssail Kings or specifically Germain. Gaelijah continues Germain's goal of making humans act towards their nature, albeit not as dramatically as him. The climax of this series starts now with her spreading the Malgam extracts to the masses through a podcast that exposes the memories and elements the Academy tries to hide.

Hijiri feels undeserving of Kajiki's affection because of her relation to Tsurugi and her time as a Malgam. Obviously, Kajiki was present when she was a Malgam back in ep. 10. At first Hijiri was in denial of her being a monster, due to Chemy's Law making her forget, but while someone accepting their darker aspects is good, Hijiri went to the opposite extreme instead by making herself an outcast due to knowing her darker aspects. And she still loves her brother in the end despite wanting to get revenge on him, but the malice is only really gone after feeling she's accepted.

So Chemy's Law is definitely the root cause of this problem (albeit Gaelijah accelerated it to show Hijiri that) as Hijiri forgot that Kajiki already reached out to her as a Malgam and a direct one too in her producing Malgams here. Kajiki's memory being returned and not erased again is what allows him to remind Hijiri of the events of ep. 10. It's clear that Kajiki cares very much about her to risk his life to reach out to her, and this care might extend to anyone he has a strong attachment to, although it's uncertain whether this applies to those he doesn't have a strong attachment to (either due to being too afraid or not caring much) similar like Keitaro, Shunpei, or Onari.

Finally, this realization gets through to Minato that he wants to honor Suzuya's wish of prioritizing society's well-being over the law. Now, there's someone similar in Houtaro who's still alive and ahead to achieve it. Lachesis' memory reveal inspires her to have a goal to strive for, much like the cruel singer she's modeled after. Guess admirable doesn't necessarily mean redeeming, just that, many of the cruelest people in history also had big ambitions, their 'gotcha' (of course... something Ghost glorified like claiming Nobunaga had humane side too as excuse).
