What’s the ending?
!!!!!!SPOILER ON ENDING OF A VERSION OF THE STORY IN MUSE ON FAME BELOW!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if she’s going to stick to it but the ending is they don't get together, he doesn’t return her feelings and he walks into literal (maybe metaphorical) fire, possibly because the angst and guilt of the situation. She then lies down near the waves and lets herself be washed away to her death. The title of the movie in Muse on Fame is called Self-immolation. The characters are actually metaphors for the writer/director and how he tries to process the trauma he went through, both are parts of himself. I actually found Muse on fame to be ok overall, I was enthralled while reading it but looking back after the ending it seems kinda shallow and is propped up by a lot of contrived scenarios. A really good story with a similar plot to this one “Clone” is “Haru no Noroi”. It’s just written with depth and heart and weirdness. I don’t know if the author improved on their writing for “Clone,” I hope so. The opening chapter already seems too angsty for me. “Haru no Noroi” is also angsty but somehow also endearing, I don’t know how they were able to achieve such balance. It’s a truly well written forbidden romance.
Holy fucking shit is she expanding the story that misogynistic ass director character wrote/filmed in Muse on Fame???? This is that story but made to be canon??????? We know the ending then folks
