Summary

This quote suggests that the conclusion of a story can determine whether it is perceived as having a happy ending or not. It implies that the subjective interpretation of happiness depends on one's perspective and the point at which they consider the story to end. In other words, the outcome may vary depending on the chosen ending point, implying that what may seem like an unhappy ending initially could evolve into a joyful one if the story were to continue further. Ultimately, the perception of a happy ending depends on one's perspective and the narrative's conclusion.
