as hazel grace said, there is only oblivion, so in her words, it does not really matter who dies and who does not. but to all of the people that in reality, john has affected, he will leave his mark on the world. as peter van houten said, the fiction ceases to exist the moment the book ends. hazel can live indefinetely, in here small infinity of the pages of her book, reliving over and over the amount of times that you read her book, the time spent with agustus waters. or she can die. she could lead a long and happy life, a happy enging, no oblivion whatsoever. the consolation that we find in our imagination will have to do for now, so be it that there is no ending, and be it that there is oblivion.
