What an anticlimactic final curtain
あっけない
I-adjective 🔑
"Anticlimactic; over too easily" — something ends more quickly and simply than expected, leaving hollowness. Usage: あっけない最期 (an all-too-easy end), 試合があっけなく終わった (the match ended anticlimactically). A whole season of struggle, dismissed in one stroke — Sakiko's emptiness lives in this adjective.

幕切れ
Theater term
「幕」(stage curtain) + 切れ = the fall of the curtain, hence "the ending/close" of something. Its opposite:「幕開け」(curtain rise). Casting life as theater is Sakiko's — and Ave Mujica's — whole aesthetic: dolls, masks, curtain up, curtain down.

ですわ
Ojou-sama ending
Sakiko's trademark sentence ending. Even her inner monologue (this line is marked as unspoken thought) ends in ですわ — an ojou-sama is elegant even talking to herself. See also「わたくしたちは運命共同体」and MyGO's「いいご身分ですわね」.
