Mr. Melancholy represents the cynicism of a cishet society. The monsters that he sends to Isabel and Tara are children's imagination (ice cream man) turned into nightmares. He ultimately sends Isabel to the midnight realm where she is forced into Owen who has to watch her own self be buried alive. He is the cruelty required to maintain cis-heternormativity in a capitalist society.
I'd argue it never becomes too late. Tara (Maddie) scribbles down "There's still time" and Owen finally discovers Isabel trapped within him at his point of deepest despair. Director Schoenbaum said that they didn't choose to write a explicitly "happy ending" because the trans journey for Isabel has just started as Owen can't exist anymore.
Fuck me, I'm not crying I'm not crying!!
