The conclusion of The Hero’s Journey arc. This episode collapses the myth of becoming, revealing that the treasure was never out there, and the return is a shedding, not a celebration.
The Architect speaks of dragons, mentors, death, and revelation, but reminds us that the journey is not toward coherence, but from it.
This is not an end. It is the vanishing of illusion. The true final crossing is not into another phase, but into the self who was never missing.
