The heroes have completed their journey. Having freed themselves into the depths of their own hearts—and in doing so, having reshaped reality—they now gather around a circular table suspended in the cosmos to decide the fate of all things.
This is what happens after "happily ever after": the happy ending is not the finale, but a beginning.
It is a transition to a new level of openness and responsibility. And in this gathering, nothing truly heartfelt is forgotten or cast aside.
The round table itself, set in a hall floating amidst the cosmic expanse, evokes a secret lodge—a sacred conclave, a mystery. It is a place where the initiated tend to something deeply esoteric. A lodge always exists on the threshold: between the sacred and the mundane, between secrecy and revelation, between what has been accomplished and what is yet to come. Like the ancient mysteries, where there was ritual, word, and epiphany, something similar unfolds here. The heroes do not merely speak—they embody a new order of being.
And within this space of ultimate responsibility, a child peeks out from under the table. This is the child of the Flower Girl and the Bell-Boy, who has since grown into the Top Cone. His emergence from beneath the table is no coincidence. In the symbolism of secret societies, that which is hidden under a veil always represents the innermost core—the secret within the secret, from which all things are born anew. This incredible council may be deciding the fates of worlds, but right there, from the center, the next cycle is already sprouting: a new game, a new sincerity.
The circle has closed, and yet it has immediately opened again—so that it may all begin once more.
