Kana would sabotage his plans, possibly actively get in his way, causing him misery and frustration. He'd never reach the point where he can truly let go. Even if Kana fully devoted herself to making him happy, Aqua would always have that nagging feel in the back of his head that'd remind him of his failed mission.

There's only one way for Aqua and Akane is the one that's willing to ride with him.
I suppose Aqua might be able to avoid the death sentence after murdering the manipulator behind the scenes, considering the circumstances, but he would still rot in prison for a decade and then be an ex-convict for the rest of his life. That's what Akane is ready to support. You think Aqua would really be happy living such a life? Maybe he would be happier if he lived his life and on the side figured out the culprit, gathered sufficient evidence to convince even the stupid Japanese police, and saw the real culprit rot behind the bars, while Aqua himself was living with a loving family and working a decent job, occasionally supporting his sister, to boot.
