endings

[John Bailey]

Nah, it's a disappointing ending.

Only consolation is that the happily-ever-after - the two lovers
uniting and the two moons becoming one - is possibly revealed as an
impossible illusion by the paper moon. The idea that joining with your
soulmate makes the world whole and real and normal again, and then you
get a pasteboard moon staring down on that idea of bliss... well, that
was one way I read it.

But it was a stretch.
