Yo, Endi, I played through the game. I liked it, I thought the attention to detail on the characters' deteriorating mental state as things went on was well written.

Glad you liked it!
As for the clarification at the end...
Without giving too much away (because itch.io doesn't seem to have a spoiler tag system or a messaging system that I can see from here), the ending choices are basically deciding if Melanie should "move on" or "get another chance." Represented by "draw the curtains" and "encore."
I was limited to only 1k words, so I couldn't really add more to explanation to it, unfortunately. I don't think I can say more without posting a major spoiler on the game page. :'D
Fun (possible) fact: "I put that song in the code, about 2 minutes before the deadline." If only I would've made it in time. :'D
Also another fun fact: "I did not actually listen to the whole song before I put it in, so if it fits it was a totally random chance." But don't tell anyone, it's a secret, let them think that I meticulously planned the whole thing~ xD
