Glad you liked it!
As for the clarification at the end...
Without giving too much away (because itch.io doesn't seem to have a spoiler tag system or a messaging system that I can see from here), the ending choices are basically deciding if Melanie should "move on" or "get another chance." Represented by "draw the curtains" and "encore."
I was limited to only 1k words, so I couldn't really add more to explanation to it, unfortunately. I don't think I can say more without posting a major spoiler on the game page. :'D
