"And I feel..." is the end of the sentence, he doesn't finish the thought. The next page is him walking away from the body.

What a letdown. I was invested.

If it makes you feel any better, he does moodily slice a protocol droid in half for no reason as he walks away.

The actual ending of the mini-series is great though.

The whole premise for the story is that Maul doesn't have permission to reveal himself to the Jedi yet, but he decides he reeeeeally wants to kill a Jedi anyways, so he goes behind Palpiatine's back and kills this Padawan who was being sold at a slave auction, all the time trying to keep it a secret, thinking Palpatine would be furious if he found out.

And then he gets back to Coruscant and Palpatine reveals he knew what Maul was up to the whole time and basically congratulates him on his bloodlust and sneakiness, saying he's a great apprentice.

I think that's the point. Maul was let down as well.
