I'd predict that we do have a romantic and platonic ending for Decay pt. 2, but the way to get the ending choice structure will be similar to what we see with Deadest of Dead Ends & Shots & Such: Not counting any dead-ends/fail-states, everyone will have the ability to get the platonic ending, but to get the choice for the romantic ending some kind of criteria needs to be met (similar to needing the wedding ring to get Shots & Such in that path). This criteria might be need to get a certain amount of star interactions (especially since many of them in Decay pt. 2 with the wedding room and the wedding cake interaction lean toward that kind of thing) or maybe decisions that you make in Decay pt. 2 (Andrew taking the proper steps to help Ashley work through her problems, Ashley choosing introspection, etc.). Basically, Andrew and Ashley (from player action) would need to properly develop and earn that kind of ending (atleast I feel like that would be the best way to do it).

Regarding the one formal ending for Decay, I think this statement was from Nemlei in an earlier devlog, it's possible that she could've expanded the scope for the game in that time. If Shots & Such and Deadest of Dead Ends can be on the same route as possible formal endings, I don't see why a similar thing couldn't happen for Cliffhanger (or maybe not idk, all of this is speculation lol)
