Oh, that final line is perfect indeed. There were earlier hints about that deep-down loneliness (with a manipulative and controlling side to it), which I think was great.

Not to take this in a political direction (heavens, no!), but it is impossible not to make a connection to this recent humorous piece about Taylor Swift published by McSweeney's:
