Consider this for a moment
a tragic accident occurs after the upright ending, which ultimately ends in MCs death
a panicked and grief-stricken Asra leaves Faust in the care of Muriel as he sets off to once again seek out the Devil to make another deal
“You know the only thing of worth you have left to bargain is the final half a heart, magician.”
“Take it. As long as they get to live again, take it.”
Asra goes on to give up the final half of his heart, knowing Faust would be in good hands with Muriel, and sacrificing himself in order for MC to have new life again
while knowing full well that MC would have no memory of him at all, no reason to ever go to the shop where his ghost is bound
many lonely years go by as Asra’s ghost wanders the shop aimlessly meanwhile MC has built up a new life and has found a new love
the shop had become abandoned over the years and is now eventually sold
moving day comes and Asra’s ghost watches with curiosity as the door opens and the new owners walk in
MC
with... children and a spouse
and no recollection of all the memories he had made with them in that very shop
but Asra remembers
