There's some light intrigue in here, but it ends up resolving with nothing in particular happening of note. This OVA really isn't here for the purpose of generating a narrative that keeps your attention, but rather for the character moments and to act as an epilogue. In the former case, I think it works just fine, giving a bit more insight into side characters and a new red-haired ACCA member through which to see the world that they created a year ago. I wish it gave more opportunity to see into side characters' lives, but I don't mind getting to sit more with the central cast, even if it just feels like they're going through the motions most of the time. I like where Nino's story went.

As an epilogue, it works a little less well. Lotte wants to move on and do something on her own, though she's not sure what, which works fine for me even if it's not a very intriguing answer to the concerns of her brother. Everything else just kind of settled into place and stayed there, with a couple of interesting little actions that largely get brushed off as unimportant in the end. I like where Nino's story went and his genuine love of photography, though with other characters like Owl, it's just unclear why he ended the series saying he was getting rid of the blonde, but still has it anyway. In general, this felt unnecessary, not really capping off any of the stories, but rather providing a bit more of an extension on the ending of the series. That's OK, it's just nothing special.
