I agree that this would make a more meaningful ending. Though, what about other endings?
Asterion and MC finally manage to free Asterion from the prison of the hotel, and perhaps the two go explore the world that Asterion has missed out on…
What if MC is unable to free Asterion from the hotel?
I was thinking that there could be more endings, but I guess they are kinda sour… Please note that these are suggestions I do not intend to make it seem like the last resort of a possibility, but hey, reality has multiple ways to teach us what a different choice could have been.
- We, MC, have searched for a way to free Asterion from it, but there was no possibility to free him. A happy yet heartbreaking part of it, we end up making him happy, but MC had to say goodbye due to a saying: ¨Life only last a short while, so don’t fill your heart with fear and sadness.¨ - Kota’s words of wisdom. ¨while you live, shine, have no grief at all. Life exists only for a short while, and Time demands his due.¨ – Asterion’s words during kindling the heart of fire.
What could turn this one into a happy ending but with just the sadness of Asterion and MC being together… would be that he will cherish the memories when they were together. Sad, true… but better than being completely downhearted broken, and whining for the loss of his love.
- We, MC, are unable to free Asterion of his imprisonment and knew it before it was too late. Somehow the stars align, and we can stay with Asterion forever. However, if we choose to do so, (creating a scenario here!) we lose all memories from the first day we met him, changing and turning what would be a happy ending but a heartbroken one.
Expanding on the second ending proposal: We still have 2 ways to end this scenario.
1-. We do live with Asterion. Sadly because of our memory loss, we are unable to build back the love of these two souls fully back. Yet, there is a sliver of light because MC’s heart still acts weird when Asterion is around, ending both in friendship… or just working partners.
2-. We do live with Asterion, but there is no chemistry of love left after that…
My point is expanding on the ¨what if¨ scenarios. Since we do not know where we are heading or if the Devs even think of these endings.
Now, this will be a really sad ending, and even I feel desperate after evoking these endings.
- My last one, and it aches my heart is… The end is abruptly done. We do not have a chance of saving the prisoner from its shackles. Something happened to MC, and we leave 1 soul mourning and lamenting not being there to save MC of [Place scenario here], it leaves a scar difficult to heal. So much that even we are left with an ache in our heart for these 2 poor souls.
I know, I exhausted my creativity creating these Scenarios, but I feel even if there is a happy conclusion there are more possibilities to have a sad one. Even if we don’t like it, teaching us that not everything is what it seems. Even the most glorious scenery in nature can have a sad story behind it.
Let’s talk more about it: What would you suggest in this scenario to have a happy ending?
