Fuminori realizes the monstrosity of his actions. He kills Saya and then himself. The final scene shows a recovered world—green grass, normal sky—but with two graves. This is the closest to a conventional moral ending, but Urobuchi undercuts it. The text implies Fuminori’s last thoughts are regret not for killing Saya, but for losing the only beauty he knew. This ending posits that objective morality requires self-annihilation when subjective reality is irreconcilably broken.

Fuminori undergoes a Nietzschean revaluation of values. He begins as a moral man, horrified when Saya kills a neighbor. By the midpoint, he is actively dismembering and feeding his own mentor, Dr. Ogai, to Saya. The player is complicit: to progress, you must choose options that prioritize Saya’s comfort over human life. The game offers no “good” choice where everyone survives. Instead, it asks: 4. The Three Endings: A Logical Triad The Director’s Cut retains the original three endings, each representing a distinct philosophical resolution.

The Director’s Cut adds voice-acted lines for Saya in her “true form” scenes, making her alien cadence more pronounced. The player realizes that Saya’s love for Fuminori is genuine within her framework: she sees his human form as ugly (the inverse of his perception) but loves his soul. This mutual, cross-species love is the engine of the tragedy.
