Labeling a version of this analysis “-Final-” suggests an attempt at closure. Yet the narrative famously resists a happy ending. The protagonist often attempts a grand, self-sacrificing gesture (e.g., proposing a threesome to “cancel out” Amy’s past), which is rightfully rejected as absurd and offensive. The actual resolution is lonely but mature: Amy walks away. She refuses to be a lesson. In doing so, she inverts the power dynamic. The final frame belongs not to the heartbroken narrator, but to the memory of Amy’s autonomy. The “-Final-” version, therefore, is not a romantic conclusion but a philosophical one: some incompatibilities cannot be bridged by love alone, and the most loving act Amy can perform is to reject the role of the rehabilitated woman.
