Retroactivity and the End of Casablanca

The power of the quilting is that when the ending, it retroactively quilts all that came before it. And I think people do it right with this notion of retroactivity. As Jie-Zek writes about the story of the end of Casablanca, which is. Right. But his point is that like it could have been any of the other endings and we would have felt exactly the same way. That's sort of the magic, the narrative magic in Raya.
