Sa isang madamdaming tagpo, hinarap ni Clara ang kanyang sarili. Napagtanto niyang hindi niya kayang iwan si Ernesto dahil sa utang na loob at paggalang, ngunit hindi rin niya kayang kalimutan si Ramon. Subalit sa huli, wala siyang napiling panig. Ang kanyang hindi pagpili ang siyang naging pagpili. Sa sobrang bigat ng kanyang sitwasyon, sa halip na magdesisyon, si Clara ay tuluyang bumagsak – sa ilang bersyon ng dula, ito ay humahantong sa kanyang paglayas o sa isang trahedyang pagkamatay ng isa sa mga lalaki, depende sa interpretasyon. Ang mahalaga: wala ni isa sa kanila ang nagwagi. Ang salawahang pag-ibig ay hindi nagtagumpay – ito ay nagwasak.
