** [[spoiler: Dream!River reaches out her hand to Dream!Johnny, and Johnny turns around and takes her hand.]] Everything you've been doing for the past 5 hours comes to this point. And you just break down. [[spoiler: And then the montage of Johnny's new memories rolls, of his wedding to Dream!River, building their house, growing old together, this time with Joey along with them.]] At this point you are consumed by grief and joy and hope and despair and guilt and so much relief that you just want to find the people you love and hold them tight.
* When you realize that River made those paper rabbits [[spoiler: to remind Johnny that they are supposed to meet on the moon if they ever get separated. Only Johnny can't remember that memory because of the beta blockers. But River doesn't tell him of their very first meeting. Why? Who knows. Maybe because she didn't want to remind Johnny of his tragic past. Maybe her Asperger's prevented her from fully communicating with him.]] All we know is that she diligently and quietly folded those rabbits, trusting him to understand what she meant. And then she died. [[spoiler: But Johnny finally fulfils his promise before he died. Maybe. In a way. It was artificially implanted, but it was still real to him. Maybe. In those final moments of his life. The only comfort you can take away is that he died happy thinking he did what he promised, only he didn't really do it.]] When you realize all this it just breaks your heart into pieces.
