It sort of felt like Tateno originally planned the story to be three volumes, but then the publisher made her squeeze it into two, so she had to cut up two volumes worth of content into the second one. The part where Maria and Ratri fake Nozomi's death felt like it should have been an end of volume cliffhanger, especially since it would have meant that Kai's return would have been a volume after his separation from Ratri (there are three weeks of time lapse that we never see or feel in the story!) instead of a couple chapters.
