Nope. I am too. I'm sick of weak plots where lying, manipulative characters get away with their horrible behavior with a weak redemption arc that does nothing to repair the damage they've done.

So, this feels refreshingly real.

Exactly, I don't know why people are so scared of a sad ending, that's just what makes it a better writing, because looking at their personality, how they treated each other and what they went through, a sudden happy ending would make zero sense
