The protaganist has to have survived!  Can't you hear the U-boat that
comes to rescue her?  What's wrong with you?  You think Kate would go
to all the trouble to put a U-boat into the song to rescue her,
complete with German speaking and sonar pings (so you can't mistake
the fact that it's a U-boat) and have her die anyway?  That would be
ridiculous.

Besides, Kate's future self visits Kate in "Jig of Life".  How could
Kate's future self do that if she has no future self?  Get with it
man!  All the signs point to a happy ending.  Can't you tell something
as simple as that with your literature degree?
