* On the final day, you can choose to [[spoiler:die peacefully in the park, either alone or with your daughter]]. It's rather heartbreaking to watch.
* Even the BittersweetEnding gets some of this. Sure that John and Molly survive, but it's implied that they are the last ones on Earth.----

* On the fourth day, your coworkers will suddenly appear when you pick up the newspaper. They say that they might be onto a cure, but understand if you would wish to stay home with your family.
