I'm still genuinely in doubt about what that true ending would be. Like, would the purity routes be false endings? Like, illusions of happy characters? Like, IF no new characters join the cast, we'll have a total of 35 purity endings (each with 20-50+ events in each route), so would Selly really be willing to spend all that work on things that, in his view, would be almost the same as the ending of Everything is a Dream? (Considering that he himself has said that endings like that are for amateur writers) so I'm genuinely in doubt about what would actually be a true ending in his view.
