I wasn't planning on a happy ending. I don't think post-bashing Justin would be stable enough or strong enough for a happy ending. Because it truly was Brian who got him through, who helped him come back together and who helped him find himself and find his strength and start to put his pain behind him. I don't think he would trust anyone else, even Daphne or Emmett, to help him the way Brian did. Because even though he and Daphne are best friends, and Emmett is extremely supportive, Brian knew the how and why he was going through this pain, because Brian had his own form of PTSD as well. So I think that even though (in my opinion, the way I viewed the show and Daphne's actions) Daphne probably went to find Justin and found Brian instead with Justin bleeding out, she still doesn't fully understand because she wasn't there.
So yeah, that's my long, convoluted way of saying there's not gonna be a happy ending. I'm working on a happy story right now, though, based on the It Gets Better Campaign.
