In order to defeat the villain, she takes control of the body of Nagisa Natsunagi and becomes successful in doing that. But she warns about the inability of Nagisa to turn into a detective that is legendary if she continues to come and help the former, thereby hampering his growth. Towards the end, she finally told about her romantic feelings for Kimihiko, her sidekick.

Through the previous season, it was clear that Nagisa was known to the legendary detective, but the reason for the same wasn’t specified clearly. The latest installment is believed to throw some light on this regard as well. Nagisa, Yui Saikawa, and Charlotte Arisaka Anderson now have the legacy of Siesta as she won’t be returning anymore, and thus Kimihiko would have to adjust like that.
