PatatoGuy : Having had a day to finally think about everything. The ending becomes sadder the more I think about it. Every main character of the real world is tragic and/or stuck. MC’s wife divorced him saying I’ve fallen for someone else which can also be interpreted as “I’ve fallen out of love with you”, additionally he is starting to regret a lot of things he did in the past when he is already starting to forget everything as well getting closer and closer to his deathbed. ML1,(blonde guy) although successful as a famous pianist was never able to have reciprocated feelings for his unrequited love until the end of his life. In the end he dies having done everything he had hoped would happen, he played with the love of the piano as much as he wanted around the world and finally got through to MC with his feelings even if it was very late, and then he left with one of his final regret cleared. ML2 had the most tragic endings both in the real world and hypothetical alternate universe, as in the real world he died and was never able to escape his old chains. While in the hypothetical AU, although he wishes to stay with MC, he believes that only trouble will follow if ML2 stays near MC and ML1 so he decides its best to continue the life as a wanderer. In the end, one of his final lines wonders if he will ever find a final destination where he can settle(implying that he had hoped to stay because he truely came to love the people there and almost considered it home but due to what happened he feels like it isn’t right to stay.) Additionally, although it isn’t confirmed but heavily implied, ML2 did start to fall in love with MC, so much so that he kissed MC so that when ML2 would leave he wouldn’t feel as much regret for having not done anything. In the end, although not said, ML2 had hoped MC would leave the city with him to also become a wanderer but also knew deep down that MC had obligations and that MC’s heart had already been taken. ML2 probably has knew that if MC left MC would have regretted it forever because MC would be leaving more than just his life behind but even so he hoped MC could leave with him also.

Phoenix : I don't understand why some of the comments keep saying he lost even tho he won
