#but the monatony of truly being happy just barely out of reach has finally eaten away at him

Succumbing to the insanity again…

Still absolutely insane by this devastating line delivery, it’s just the perfect mix of defeated and apologetic. He wants to accept Crowley’s offer so badly, he always did, but even still the panopticon of Heaven and Hell looms near. They’re both aware of this wish to be closer, and Aziraphale’s just too tired to hide it. Because even after achieving the impossible and saving the world from a 6,000 year plan to destroy it, he still doesn’t feel safe enough to simply stay a night at Crowley’s house.

In fact the whole scene reflects this. There’s no score save for the few tentative notes when Crowley invites Aziraphale over, and it bears a somber, almost melancholy demeanor. Not at all what you’d expect from two people who just stopped Armageddon against all odds.

I think that’s really why this ending feels familiar but not redundant, it’s telling in the best way. This is the second time, (the first being the band stand scene), where the show makes it explicitly clear that they love the Earth because they’ve come to love each other.
