In the library's sub-basement, a new shelf appears in the Registry. The spines are blank, but when Elara touches them, she feels the echoes of the stories she concluded: The Mariner's Last Gale. A Father's Quiet Pride. The Reconciliation That Wasn't. She has not erased these potential lives; she has archived them. Honored them. Her Glimmer remains, but it is now under her control. She no longer just sees endings. She sees potential, both for conclusion and for continuation. Mr. Alden gives her the key to the sub-basement. She is now the true Librarian of the Unwritten.
