Things did go downhill hill for him - quite literally - though it sounds like his bizarre encounter with her was a _lot_ better than what had been happening to him before he went hiking, though what it took to reach her obviously was even worse.
She's incredibly sexy, but man does that ending make the whole thing feel weird.
Well...When it starts that way, it's almost guaranteed to have some kind of twist at the end...And man, it definitely did.
He certainly wasn't wrong when he said that he was 'due for some luck' after what he went through...Except what he went through was actual death. Makes his exclamation of 'being fed up with life' rather ironic, huh.
And besides, he gets a new chance at life via rebirth, so that's...um, great? Makes me wonder if this is what you go through after death until your rebirth, if not having sex or being loved was indeed one of your regrets.
