Frankly put, love is an illusion that comes true when both sides perceive it.

Well... apart from Aura's tangent... you can't be
absolutely certain that someone loves you, but if you were to take that a purely philosophical concept you can't be
absolutely certain about a damn nothing. Including that someone
doesn't love you.
Ange in the trick ending didn't simply reach a status where she disbelieved anything as it's proper of a skeptic.
She decided that in doubt, no matter how little doubt it was, it was always best to assume the
worst scenario.
Apart from the fact that "lack of absolute certainty" doesn't equate "everything is equally possible"
This isn't skepticism, this is paranoia.
A better approach would be to act on the assumption that the truth is the one that's most probable, and when someone tells he loves you, acts like someone who loves you, and talks like someone who loves you and there is no valid reason to think he'd fake it all, well you should assume that he loves you not the opposite.
There is no need to have blind faith, which would cause you to still believe you're loved even when your partner gave clear signs of wanting to break up.
Also, there is no need to be loved in return to love.
