I know it's a meme at this point but you're unironically viewing the entire situation without love. You're taking Ange's happy life in the end where she has overcome her earlier trauma of her entire family being horrifically murdered, along with her painful relationship with Eva and her loneliness and changed her life around. Rather than being the gloomy child soldier doggedly pursuing the one true truth of Rokkenjima who would have turned into a cold logical killer as we see in the Trick ending, she has settled down into her dream job and occupation of being a writer for children's stories and started up the Fukuin House orphanage again, and helps Tohya find peace with his own internal conflict over the personality of Battler. In the end she's surrounded by people she loves and is doing what she enjoys while being an undeniably happy and content person, and you've discarded all of this to proclaim that she's actually just a lonely old woman.
>The good ending would be her accepting the love of her family, dysfunctional as they were, AND accepting the painful, harsh truth.
She does accept the painful harsh truth that her family are dead and they're never ever coming back, but that doesn't mean she's descended completely into escapist fantasises. In fact she explicitly rejects these escapist fantasies because magical illusions aren't enough to cope and deal with grief. The point of the magic ending was that while Ange accepts the truth, truth in and of itself isn't some axiomatically good thing that we should all value above all else, otherwise we turn into cold and calculating intellectual rapists like Erika. Ange doesn't need to know the exact truth of Rokkenjima, she doesn't need to know that her family on that day were horrific monsters who all killed each other over money and she can hold onto that hope that her family were better people than they were during Rokkenjima Massacre. We see the alternate timelines where Ange does learn the truth, and she ends up throwing herself off the building rather than living a happy and fulfilling life. In this case, what use is Ange learning about the exact details of the murder and letting it dictate her entire life to the point of suicide?
