What happened at the end of 'Invasion' Episode 10?
Towards the end, we see Mitsuki receive an anonymous mail giving her access to the satellite that was tracking the frequency of the HOSHI shuttle, while Luke finds the piece and sees the surface ripple as the sky glows blue. We are then shown a confusing scene where Casper in a dream-like state, meets Mr. Murai in a dark space where he gifts him the compass he gave to his daughter many years ago. He tells Casper that he can now see where he is and where he is going before suddenly disappearing. Casper walks across with the compass in hand where he comes across glowing flower-like alien objects which sees the compass malfunction. This was the buildup for the beginning of the end.
A thrilling montage shows Aneesha wake up in fright from her sleep, Mitsuki's laptop acting up and Trevante's wife's eyes going wide in shock. We then see the brilliant and doom-inducing scene of a ginormous spaceship floating in the sky as Trevante tears up. The last still showcases just how big the mothership is as Trevante and his wife appear as small as dolls on the beach.
Looks like the aliens were a step ahead of mankind with their preparation coming to fruition. Humans may have just lost to the foreign entities with a grim future on the horizon.
