All main love interests got a bad future, with Vicky and Steph having the worse outcomes. Jacky became a drunk after losing her job and Alyvia decided to move out (she meant well, but Jacky was already devastated by not having a job, so seeing her oldest daughter leaving didn't help); while Baibai didn't mention it, I suppose the fact that her children grew apart and barely talked to each other may also have affected her greatly. Both Alyvia and Kath married and divorced (I don't remember if they remarried), but the scars from their failed relationships still haunted them as adults. Emily was the only one that achieved a better future, but she had to distance herself from her family to do so.
