Just did a 1-on-1, post-superday interview with the CIO where I wasn't asked any questions? Not sure what to make of this.

Hey guys. I'm recent grad who's been looking for a fulltime role in the PE/AM space. Over the past month I've been in the hiring process with a small/medium fund's (11B AUM) for a private equity Analyst role. I've done 3 interviews (including a superday) in total as well as a PE style case study. Despite not feeling confident about my performance during the superday (I could have done better on behaviourals), I heard back from them and was invited for a one-on-one video chat "final interview" with the CIO a few days after the superday. They also asked me to provide references to HR at this time. Since they called it a "final interview", I assumed I was going to get grilled for fit pretty hard. I did the final interview 2 days ago and it was really weird. The only question the CIO asked was to "tell me about yourself", which I did, and for the rest of the interview proceeded to ask me if I had any questions to ask HIM. I asked him a lot of questions about the future of the firm, his experience etc and he answered them. Most of the interview ended up being him answering my questions. I initially thought the purpose of the 1 on 1 was to act as a "tiebreaker" between me and another candidate, but given that the CIO didn't try to grill me or ask any questions, I don't know what to make of it. It's been about 2 days since the interview and I still haven't heard any updates from the firm. I've never had an interview post-superday before so I'm not sure what the significance of it was, assuming it wasn't to act as a tiebreaker. Does anybody have any thoughts as to what my current standing might be?
