Some stories have an open ending and modern stories will even let you choose the ending somehow (in modern media, such as videogames, specially). Many like a little of fantasy to differ from the everyday boring job. We all know that humans like to gossip generally speaking and many people like a good drama, since it's a very common genre in every sort of medium.
All of the above. it really is a person's opinion. I pefer stories that distance me while also evoke emotion. others may choose differently. so really there is no answer besides E. Its a persons opinion or all of the above
