Yes... she just changed paths of different people but her impact to each character has exponentially that changed the course of the original story... that is the fearfully one of the hidden scary skills a person could do. The art of presuation.
Each character is trapped into their own shells (childhood upbringing and/or traumas and each of their own circumstances) and like a little nudge of giving advice won't even bend the character but with Sasha's intervention.. slowly, they have more positive outlook of themselves.
It is sad that Rebecca and Naska truly did not have their own good endings within their desires but in hindsight. It is hard to give each character their wanted endings.
I agree! I think it's a realistic ending. But it's bittersweet to me that she didn't create a "better" ending, just flip flopped who suffered and who grew.
In the original story, it was Lilith who was the voice of persuasion who changed people for the better and caused unrequited love. In this one, it is Sasha.
This ending isn't too different from the "original" ending, if you think about it. Instead of Arth and Payne, it's Rebecca and Naska who endure an unrequited love. Rebecca in the og story harrassed many people, attempted murder, and was killed along with her father. Johannes was, what, unfaithful and a douche? So he and his father were killed. Sasha, much like the "og" Lilith, faced hardships, but earned the love of many trustworthy people and changed them for the better.
Ultimately, Sasha did not change much. She simply changed different people.
