I mean, you can interpret it that way, in the sense that as a human being with free will, nobody can stop you from viewing the narrative how you want, but that definitely seems like the most deliberately bad faith reading possible of what was happening in the episode?

I mention this a tiny bit in that post, but the script is written is a way often uses a light touch rather than being super direct about everything, which means it's a story that definitely gives the viewer room to interpret the exact specifics in whatever way they please. I'm not really sure why in a situation where a viewer has that freedom, they'd actively decide to pick the version of the story they like the least? The ambiguity that makes room to be upset about Manami going to jail is the same ambiguity that allows a person to imagine she ultimately didn't.
