What a beautiful, sad and somber episode. I kinda expected a bit more of a speculation about the last panel, but then, I am not sure what to say myself.
Guts questioning his goals? Is he thinking about trying to let go of the past or at least of hopes about going back? But what else does he have? I am dying to find out what decisions he will reach and what this foreshadows. That even though Caska will be cured they won't recapture past relationship (not that I think she's going to hate him or anything)? I also wonder what will push Guts to keep fighting the forces of darkness. He seems to be letting go a little, or maybe it's just me.
I don't see Farnese going crazy because of Caska, either, she lived through much worse rejections before (her father), and it's not like she had some substantial hopes before either. Besides, she's positioned nicely with two men who love/have crush on her in different way for a storyline not involving turning-into-monster-and-devouring-everyone sort of thing. I guess when Caska will no longer need her help she'll already be useful as a magic user. Who I really wonder about is Serpico. If Farnese moves out from under his protection, what his new goal in life will be.
