I would agree with this if I felt like it was actually portrayed as a happy ending. I think you're supposed to feel some legitimate horror from the vantage point of the older sister you're playing. These two kids made a really stupid decision, echoing that the family is utterly broken and all have been making really stupid decisions. Kaitlin's practically the only one of them that's "okay", and that's not even for certain because she is clearly the "favored" daughter.

Basically, I think the point I'm trying to make is that the narrative wasn't particularly making you root for anyone; everyone was deeply flawed. And the final culmination was Sam fleeing an emotionally toxic situation by diving into a stupid, impulsive teenage love. It's not a good thing, it just is.

I disagree. I feel it was clear they wanted you to feel like they were in love and should be happy. The tinkly music with the game finishing off with 'if you saw everything, you understand why I had to do it!' strongly suggested you were supposed to agree.
