It had 2 endings but yeah if you talking about Karin, it sucks too cause we know what going to happen to her since Yuri witnesses his moms death. Also She loved Yuri and she would only feel an attachment to his father because she still had feelings for Yuri after the time placement thing and he resembles his dad.

Although I try not to think about it too much because my head starts to hurt lol.

Well I've only gotten one ending but some people have told me its just like the first shadow hearts game a good ending and a bad ending, the good one is where everyone gets sent to a time where they will be the most happy, Karin can't be with Yuri because one plot f'ed up and made her his mom, also Yuri truly loves Alice and chooses to die and be with her in the after life (we know there is an after life in the SH series), this means the next best thing for Karin is meeting Yuri's Father who Yuri greatly resembles and they share the same powers. Karin falls for Yuri's Father most likely because even though she has no memories of what happened in the other time dimension she still harbors deep feelings for Yuri which transfered over to his dad.

Well the "True" ending for the first Shadow hearts game is really sad because Alice sacrifices herself to save Yuri's soul. The ending CG has Yuri and Alice riding a train to Alice's home town, and on the way Alice lays against Yuri and falls asleep with her head on his shoulder. When they reach their destination Yuri goes to wake Alice up but she has passed away :18:

He then spends the majority of SH II trying to bring her back using the Emagre(Sp?) Manuel, but then realizes it's not possible and his heart is shattered once again. It is pretty clear in the ending to Covenant that he reunites with Alice in the After Life and the spend the rest of eternity together :relief:
