Your lack of faith disturbs me.

They end up together after the epilogue. Mark and Nicole both forgave themselves, let go of their guilt about Maria and Jake respectively and accepted they could do nothing to resolve it other than focusing on the present and those around them. Cathy lived because Mark resolved himself to not lose another important person to him, same as Nicole remaining close friends with Kate.

Mark felt he had a good feeling about this 4th date not because this would be his life partner he's meeting, he felt it because this was his first meeting with Nicole in this timeline. Now whether they both remember their previous hundred lifetimes or not is up for debate, both hypotheses result in their hitching without the fabric of reality caving in and time tearing them apart.

@Terrified5.7 You forgot the part where Master Chief shows up.

See I like this but there’s no real guarantee that they did get together after the epilogue. You can say that the ending showed them getting past their regrets and moving on as people, not needing to rely on one another, and go separate ways to life happy lives. I’ve healed now so im honestly okay with the ending. Our goat Cath is okay and it seems like mark pulled Jessica, which ig makes sense. But also if he didn’t then he most definitely pulled Nicole. A good reason to believe this is that one of the head writer/devs of UT on Twitter (ik it’s X idgaf) reposted art of adult mark and Nicole married. We know it’s of the true timeline because of their hair. But nothing says this is canon other than one of the head writers just liking the idea of it, so who knows maybe this is my list bit of cope lingering. His account is @semickolon btw if u wanna see for urself

The game is about alternate universes being more or less different, even outside of the chaotic influences made my Mark's mother and Nicole's childhood best friend. No ending is set in stone for those two can be explained as there are universes where they probably end together and some where they don't, concluding with one of the many possibilities wouldn't match too much the idea that it's life and it can end up happening this way but could also have been sooner, later or even never and you shouldn't hold your life because it sadly didn't went as wished in the past

I'd say it's kinda sad, and hard to move on. While I am glad that Cathy lived, I wasn't able to move on after the farewell scene and how both Mark and Nicole didn't end up together

[solidsnake8608]

The true ending felt like a slap in the face to both characters. They struggle throughout 100 lifetimes then get screwed when the best universe comes about. It really felt like the only thing they shouldn't have "Let go" of was each other. At least from a narrative perspective, didn't seem like it made any sense.

In terms of the café dates and afterward, there's no way to know definitively.

This is encouraging, but it could easily be from any of the previous timelines; remember that Nicole brings up the two having already been married when they're saying goodbye on the bridge at the end of Run 3, Chapter 2. And the hair only seems to indicate that they're grown up, not necessarily that it's the final timeline.

FWIW, I'm choosing to believe this interpretation:

Mark felt he had a good feeling about this 4th date not because this would be his life partner he's meeting, he felt it because this was his first meeting with Nicole in this timeline. Now whether they both remember their previous hundred lifetimes or not is up for debate, both hypotheses result in their hitching without the fabric of reality caving in and time tearing them apart.

But again, we can't know for sure, and that's exactly the point...

Mark's mom confirms in the finale that all the alternate timelines are real... That is to say, all of the endings are true endings, from the most satisfying happily-ever-afters to the most tragic strings of deaths, disappearances, and destruction—and everything in between. The beauty lies in recognizing that bittersweet truth and making the best of each lifetime, whether over hundreds of tries or just one.

"But you see, Nicole... That's life. Growing up, you'll learn that sometimes things work out, and sometimes they don't. And when they don't, all we can do is play along."

100% agree！ We NEED a Markcole endgame so bad.

I absolutely agree. The ending almost ruined the story for me. The fact that they couldn't end up together felt so forced. They knew about eachother's struggle and were seperated, just so there is no "perfect happy ending"!

Nothing tells they aren't together forever in this universe, you could as much speculate they first saw themselves there and might talk to each other if they meet again or something else. Maybe they are ones with memories of their lives in other universes and are fine meeting other people knowing what they already lived together. A lot of ways to see this

But sure the game isn't about a stricly "perfect happy ending" as much as any other ending, that wouldn't fit it's messages and what's shown during the game
