Does rebirth end with Aerith's death?

Yes, Aerith dies at the end of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, mirroring the original game, but the experience is fractured through Cloud's mind, leaving ambiguity about whether she's truly gone or existing in another timeline, as only Cloud sees her afterward, hinting at a deeper multiverse or Lifestream connection in this remake series.
