There's no tragedy tag so I guess the novel spoilers I read isn't complete?
SPOILER:
I read a summary of the novel this was based on and it says Sasha was going to be executed on a firing squad? It says on the summary it wasn't a sad ending so...
I know some of you blame Sasha and it is understandable. He did leave Karel without a trace. But Sasha wasn't aware of the extent of his feelings for Karel during this time and he would only ever realize it upon meeting Karel again (as Scar). You also have to understand that Sasha is suffering from his mental illness which caused by all the abuse he had experienced since he was young.
Anyways, let's talk about Karel. Damn this man. He's really the very epitome of selfless and devoted love. From the very beginning to the present (even if he tries to pretend he doesn't love Sasha), he has been such solid ground for Sasha when he was having his "episodes". He really loves Sasha (w/ all his flaws and imperfections) .
