So I read both epilogues, and I feel a need to ask, is either one the "right" one? A lot of the other choose-your-own-adventure style bits in this series still eventually lead to one specific outcome. It wouldn't bother me, except that the implications behind each changes what actually happened in Ending Number Four. One implies that Jack lied in his blog, so the actual sequence of events before the decision has to be different between the different endings.
Am I misunderstanding something? Am I just a nitpciking ass hole for being bothered by this?
You are absolutely entitled to be bothered. This story was a huge departure from my normal storytelling. It was an experiment of sorts.
Neither ending is necessarily "right" or "wrong."
I intended to leave it up to the reader. Whichever you prefer.
If you want, both can be correct. Or if you didn't care for them, neither.
Whatever you decide, thank you for playing.
