Complete the wedding alone and leave the family who always chooses someone else.
On the wedding day the protagonist watches parents, brother, and fiancé abandon the altar to greet sister Luna at the airport. Luna posts a triumphant group photo online while frantic calls go unanswered; the fiancé finally answers only to dismiss the distress as a tantrum and suggest redoing the event. Humiliated yet composed, the bride finalizes the ceremony by herself, opens her journal, and records the ninety-ninth letdown. She submits a study-abroad application and packs her bags, letting them believe she has calmed down while she prepares to disappear for good.
