Because you guys are curious and thought the ending you got was the only "unavoidable" one. There were a ton of endings drafted up for this chapter, and Nate/Rosa's "fate" was determined by each of them. Keep in mind that this is a complicated process, and that some paths chosen may have "melted" into others. So here they are:
POSSIBLE ENDINGS:
1. The one achieved yesterday, in which Nate allows Banette to get possessed by the scepter for the sake of his master. Rosa leaves ambiguously in this ending.
2.Refusing to allow Rosa to be used as a vessel for Clara would have led to Nate finishing off the wanderer for good, depending on the reader's actions from there, Nate could have either chose to wield the scepter for his own or destroy it. Wielding it would lead to Nate losing his mind, killing Banette, and living a life similar to N's in Chp 12 for the rest of his days. Destroying it would lead to Nate wondering how to free Rosa from the crystal. Rosa does not leave in this ending.
3.Stopping Banette before he could absorb the scepter in order to let the wanderer progress with his plans is branched out into two inner paths within itself:
3a. The wanderer destroys the world and rebuilds it, if Rosa was sacrificed for Clara, then Nate lives peacefully in the new world, but is forced to step out frequently due to the aging wanderer accidentally cooking up trouble. In this ending, Rosa simply leaves for vacation in Hoenn.
3b. The wanderer destroys the world and rebuilds it, if Rosa was not sacrificed for Clara, then Nate is reincarnated as a Pokemon that is then trained brutally by a Roughneck.
