THE LAST DREAMER

This final section would serve as a reflective piece, looking at the characters' post-journey. How have Ethan, Maya, and Jake been changed by their experiences? What happens to their relationships, their lives, and their sense of reality after the events of the main novel? It could also include:

- Character Letters or Journal Entries: Ethan's personal journal where he reflects on his experiences, his guilt, and his hope (or lack of hope) for the future. Maya's own private thoughts, revealing her struggle between helping Ethan and saving the world. Jake's reflections on his bond with Ethan and the difficult choices he had to make.

- The Future of the Dream World: An open-ended exploration of the consequences of the rift's partial closure. The dream world might still be leaking into reality. Could this be the end, or is this just the beginning? Will there be another "Last Dreamer" to finish what Ethan started?
