MASSIVE SPOILERS FOR CASSETTE BEAST: POST GAME + ENDING

The ending to the game has always stuck out to me as surprisingly sad for such a goofy and silly game. After you leave, it's assumed that all of your friends go back to their realities and you never see each other again (Except for Barkley, who always follows the player.)

This is made even more heartbreaking if you were dating someone before you left. But after talking to the Mer-Line, it's clear the game is pushing you to leave. It's sad.

... But it doesn't have to be, does it?

Ms. Amber says you'll go to whatever reality you set your mind to. But what if everyone's hearts were set on staying together? And when everyone opened their eyes, all your partners were there too because you didn't want to leave each other?

Obviously the story is about New Wirral being a learning experience. Kayleigh accepting she's not a bad person for getting roped up in a cult, Felix finding his inspiration again, Eugene overcoming his fear of not being useful, Viola understanding that being a story character doesn't make her less real, Meredith learning to make friends and be accepted, Barkley finding love after his owner passed away...

... But I just think they all deserve to be happy together. After all, it's not everyday you get to transform into monsters and fuse with your best friends.

IDK call me sappy for thinking of the best-case scenario but that's how I headcanon the ending LOL.
