Thank you so much! Yes, the "final loop" is meant to end where you started with the realization that the quote is yours, you had just forgotten it... don't know if that comes across, but that's kind of the whole the idea
It actually was a bug at first, but I liked it, so I did intentionally leave it haha. It felt final and it also stops the player from starting a new game possibly thinking that there might be more to discover only to then maybe be disappointed that there wasn't. Kinda solves all the problems haha.
