POV: you're in a quiet, cozy spot with a simple view of magnificent trees with colorful leaves on a crisp autumn day - you are wearing fuzzy socks, have a warm drink and a good book with you - the wind is howling at night, you are looking at misty lands and the smell of fire in the hearths is in the air

“Every story has four parts: the beginning, the middle, the almost-ending, and the true ending. Unfortunately, not everyone gets a true ending.

Only those who persevere can find their true ending.” - Stephanie Garber, Finale
