i agree. i don’t think i can replay it even for the smut T_T .. that was brutal. i’m pretty sure that’s my first time crying over a smut game lol.

i interpreted the “best” ending as exon and mc reincarnating as humans and reuniting in every life as soulmates. this interpretation makes the ending feel happier and more ideal. they get to live their full lives together normally, passing away of old age, and repeating with each reincarnation. this is essentially what they wanted.
