Will he come back after no contact, or is this the ending?

This quiz will not tell you that he is coming back. Nobody can tell you that, and the sites that do are guessing at your expense. What it can do is read the door: how it was closed, who closed it, and what has happened around it since. Doors are readable. People are not. And whichever result you get, the last part of it is the same, because the useful half of this question has always been yours.
