I'm really loving these heart-to-hearts between Adagio and Radian. They're just so sweet!
That said, the parts with Sonata and Aria felt a tad bit more perfunctory. I mean, I expect Sonata to just smile and nod and do whatever she's told. Even in Rainbow Rocks, she seems like a quintessential follower, not because of any lack of will but simply because she seems to have very little dissatisfaction with wherever she finds herself (her complaining at the beginning of the film about the lack of sufficient negative energy among humans notwithstanding). So her being fine with Adagio's new take on things seems entirely in-character for her.
In a way, so does Aria's needing to be smacked down. She was the one who very briefly tried to put forward a power struggle before the "Battle" song in the movie, after all. And yet...while it makes sense for her to be so easily dissuaded here, it still feels almost like a checkbox being ticked. That's not entirely fair, of course; the story needed to address this, but at the same time it came across as something that was almost a foregone conclusion, between the general maturity that everyone seems to have gained and how we all knew (even before Adagio said it outright) that Aria would need to go it alone if she decided to rebel.
As it is, the fact that Adagio laid out how any such attempt was inherently doomed to failure was kind of a drama-killer. I mean, she's not wrong (as the final battle at the end of the show's ninth season made clear), and epilogues are supposed to wrap things up, but it sort of made it feel like things had to be this way, rather than being earned by the characters. Again, I know that's not entirely fair, but when Harmony is an energy that pushes things in a certain way, well...what can you do?
Overall, this was the cherry on the sundae, so I suppose now the only question is what comes next, since everything seems to be wrapped up.

That's good to know.
That's really kinky. I hope they get to have some fun at the bedside again, this is getting interesting. I hope I get to read that part before the story ends.

I know it can be a bit of a foregone conclusion with the Sirens, but I guess there's only so much tension that could have been had after Ray's decisions, Adagio's changes, Sunset's final moments and more. The writing was fairly on the wall anyway, what with Aria discovering something she really loved doing as a human as much as Sonata had. Adagio was the only hold out, and she got someone rather than something (and boy are they going to engage with the 'doing' tonight).
As for what's left, well... it wouldn't be a story about singers without some sort of encore. That and the story had a simple premise; Ray would help Adagio get her powers back, but the agreement had something in return that I want to cover last, although as a final conclusion.
Should be two more chapters, though.
