I'm not sure how saying that it might not be real solves the problem of the ending. Do you think her self-sacrifice really saved her brother's life? If so, what was in it for her? Are we to be horrified that she did it for a twee delusion? To me the ending read as a Christian resolution of redemption through self-sacrifice. Or maybe her self-sacrifice didn't really save her brother's life, which makes the ending even more horrific. Is it actually a satire of Christian redemption? It sure didn't feel like it. Or maybe her self-sacrifice did save her brother's life, but not for the reasons (delusions) she thought and she only needed the delusions to talk herself into doing the right thing? (But why was her brother's life more important than her own?)
