The ending really wasn't meant to be a cliffhanger, so I'm glad you didn't think it was. It was meant more of 'this is the end of his revival.' Once he opens his eyes and starts breathing then he's been revived and everything that happens after is living. Which is awesome, but not a part of this story.
And yes, angst and I are great friends. But there was enough of it in this story without putting more in the end. *eyes you back*
