I really do like how Heca has been shown to be one of the more kinder 2hus, despite her aparrent powerlevel. Compare that to everyone else's usual don't-give-a-shit or smug attitude and it's a surprisingly fun juxtaposition

It's a completely unresolved plotline, especially the whole "Eternity beginning to control lifeforce" thing.

My theory is that Hirasaka is already planned to be involved with another fairy-related storyline after this (either more fairy manga or another GFW) considering his history, this series is ending so he and ZUN can draft up the outline, which also has the opportunity to take a different direction than VFIS (after Eternity and Okina's introduction with the surrounding theories, as well as Clownpiece's mysterious purpose, people started taking a very uncharacteristically plot-focused interest in the fairies for VFIS and the scope of the manga was becoming increasingly skewed in the latter half). That chapter is a teaser for said project, which will involve Eternity and Clownpiece (who was still left on the surface by Hecatia who has some kind of plot of her own that is ALSO left unresolved) teaming up.

Arguably the entire ending was a teaser: The fairies actually worked together to an extent which made an impression on a sage. Reimu said she'd maybe leave fairy-related incidents to fairies (technically HSiFS was also a fairy-related incident resolved by a fairy). Both Eternity and Clownpiece have continuing plots. Eternity has now personally been to the backdoor realm (and why was it specifically on her back where the door conveniently appeared?) and met Okina, and Okina has fiddled with the fairies' backdoors some more with unforeseen results. Clownpiece's new mission actually coincides with Eternity's vested interest in Okina as well. A team up between them seems more likely than ever because of this.

The latter half of the story is simply accelerating into a direction way outside the scope of the VFIS manga, which is why I think it was formally ended.
