As its title implies, this third piece closes the full work with a more philosophical tone than in the previous two. The first instalment, The Beginning (2018), introduced the first five chapters of the kun opera; the second, Reverie (2019), presented the first 22 chapters with a somewhat different aesthetic from the first.
