I'm honestly tempted to think this is some kind of edit.

The art style for both characters, not just the woman, completely changes for the last two panels.

Everything is different, more simplistic faces and facial features, more swoopy, less angular, less detail, both characters become basically ovals or rounded rectangles, when they were first basically polygons... eyes for both characters are now totally different...

I've seen this kind of style swapping in multiple anime and mangas. Not speaking directly to this example, just saying that it's a thing that is done sometimes.

Thats true, that is also a thing.

But... usually ... the style shift... contextually makes sense, to... emphasize something. A mood shift, a perspective shift, a time shift, etc.

Or sometimes you get a sort of... clipshow type format, but its not actually a clipshow, its ... the style is bouncing around all over the place, basically as both an artistic tour de force, and as a sort of meta joke, for that whole episode.

I guess I'm just not seeing anything like that here.
