Dandi:
Readers, thank you for staying with this story until the very end.
You followed it through calm waters and violent storms, through moments of overwhelming power and moments of fragile humanity. You watched characters make choices that could not be undone, carry burdens they never asked for, and continue forward even when the path ahead offered no promise of reward.
Stories end, but what they leave behind does not vanish so easily. The questions, the emotions, the quiet understanding that comes from having witnessed another life—even a fictional one—stay with us longer than we expect. In that sense, the journey does not truly conclude here.
Every story, like every voyage, must eventually reach land. But even when you close this book, the waves do not stop.
Somewhere beyond the page, the sea is still breathing. And perhaps, if you listen closely, you will hear footsteps on the shore—not of heroes returning in triumph, but of people finally allowed to rest.
Thank you for sailing this far.

Well, it's definitely been a ride, hasn't it? I guess we're done just in time for a... 'Christmas Caron', if you will. (I welcome all booing in the comments.) Who were you guys hoping would be the heroine? I guess it being Seria was really obvious toward the end, but for a while I was kind of rooting for Foina or Amy, and briefly wondered about Beatrice. And that ending... Those two best friends really are fated to annoy each other until the end of time. Either way, I thought it was a pretty refreshing take on the regressor trope. Hopefully author-nim will write more novels like this. I'd definitely be interested in editing a translation of his future work. Anyway, I hope you guys had as good a time as I did. I kept ending up editing in big batches just because I wanted to see where the story went!
