* BittersweetEnding: Jonas and Martha from Eva's world prevent the accident that would have lead to Tannhaus's family dying, causing the two timelines (and everyone who were connected to the time travel loops) to disappear. On a much sweeter note however, the characters not connected to the time travel loops live much healthier lives and seem more mentally well, albeit Winden is still considered a terrible place to be in. And judging from the dialogue of the Origin World Hannah, there's a possibility that Jonas (and maybe the others of the loops) could get a second chance in this original timeline.
