''“What does it even mean to save someone?” Kamijou gathered some strength in his barely moving right hand. “She was smiling. Just before she fell to pieces, she was definitely smiling. Even with the way it ended and even with the hellish process leading up to it, she said she had already been saved. She smiled and said that had saved her.”''

'' Othinus had wished for and accepted her death and vanished from the world. ''

A bitter feeling ran through his chest, but he would have to accept it as fact and continue on.

He remained behind, so he had to live out the rest of his life.

Looks to me, he was more concerned about saving her, then her. He was okay with her going to prison for life. It's obvious: she will be just another girl in the harem, nothing special. Misaka does have some development with him, but I think it will either end without a romantic resolve or Touma gets together with someone we've never seen in the last epiloge.
