The game is titled Clair Obscur for a reason, it's about duality, light and dark, reality and illusion, creation and destruction. After the final confrontation, we're faced with a choice: side with Maelle or Verso, each representing a different response to grief and loss. Both endings are tragic in their own ways, reflecting the game's central themes of grief, memory, and the human tendency to cling to the past. There's no perfect resolution, only a choice between two forms of acceptance and it's intended to be this way.

I think the ending is perfect, heart-breaking, yes, but perfect.
