Look at it this way. Moonlit Tale is a series (of which, by titles alone, only two songs belong to). "The Abandonment" aspect of the title is qualifying which one it is. Eg, "Which Moonlit Tale is this?" "The Abandonment Moonlit Tale." Or, to rephrase it, "The one that's about abandonment".

If it really bothers you that much, we could try "The Moonlit Tale of Abandonment". The issue with that is that it doesn't work with the subtitle, which is my whole point (The Moonlit Tale of the Ending implies it's about an ending rather than being the final Moonlit Tale, which is what 終末 suggests). They don't mirror each other correctly any other way. This is actually what I was bothered by, it's unfortunate that the translation doesn't work as the latter, as the former could cause confusion without the context of "Moonlit Tale" being used as a qualifier. If there were other songs in the series with the "Moonlit Tale" qualifier then it would be slightly more obvious.

That aside, if "The Abandonment Moonlit Tale" is passed then I won't mind, it's not like I find it to be a abominable option. I just feel the need to point out that the context of this thread is the only indication towards "Moonlit Tale" being a qualifier.
