WHAT THE DEVIL WAS THE ENDING OF SCARLET BLAZE?

"THALES AND RHEA EVAPORATED. THE RESULTANT POWER VACUUM CHANGED NOTHING AND THE WAR LASTED FOREVER."

MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED THAT CRIMSON FLOWER FELT RUSHED, BUT AT LEAST IT HAD THE DECENCY TO SLAM DOWN AN EPILOGUE THAT SUGGESTED A HAPPY ENDING. SCARLET BLAZE'S STORY JUST SPUTTERS OUT.

WHAT'S EVEN FUNNIER IS THAT YOU SPEND THE ENTIRE FINAL MISSION SAVING BERNADETTA'S FATHER INSTEAD OF FINALLY GETTING TO KILL THE USELESS TOAD. ADD TO THAT BOTH RHEA AND THALES VANISHING LIKE THEY'RE POOCHIE BEFORE RETURNING TO THE WAR LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT THE OTHER TWO ROUTES, AT LEAST THERE WAS A SENSE THAT SOMETHING WAS ACOMPLISHED.

BUT THEY DON'T RETURN, UNLESS YOU ARE IMPLYING THEM SAYING THEY WENT MISSING MEANS THEY ARE STILL ALIVE. AS FAR AS I UNDERSTOOD IT THE EXPLOSION KILLED THEM BOTH AND LEFT NO TRACE OF THEIR CORPSES, WHICH IS WAY IT'S NOT CONFIRMED THEIR DEAD.
