Again, the presence or absence of a culprit is actually not that important to the story, I will agree. However, the fact that there was or wasn't such a situation known to the characters within the story is actually quite important, both narratively and thematically. It's not about figuring out whodunnit so much as wanting to know the details, whatever they may be, to provide knowledge moving forward into the future. However, knowing the details oneself doesn't suffice if there is the possibility that the knowledge will not be transmitted to others but for one's own intervention; that I think is Ange's failing. I have no problem with her reaction to her own discovery of the truth (in whatever capacity that was by the end). I just wish the story remembered that people other than her exist and their feelings also matter.
