I've read the introduction, guessed it will end in tragedy, skimmed fast through the article, jumped in the end and confirmed it ended in tragedy and saved myself from ruining my mood from reading something depressing.

Everything ends in tragedy eventually.
They got some time together, so it's a happy story overall. It's all any of us could ask for.

Funny, I always enjoy reading anything dark/morbid/depressing. Tends to have the opposite effect of putting a pep in my step - all those things add flavour and texture to life and make me appreciate being alive.
