Think about every great story you have ever loved. The hobbit returning to the Shire. The prodigal son running toward a father who is already running toward him. The soldier who comes home after years of silence — and the door opens, and everything changes in a single moment. Every great story builds toward resolution. And the reason those moments wreck us — the reason we cry at endings we already know — is because something deep inside us was made for a world where wrong things are made right. Where the broken are restored. Where the lost come home. What if that instinct isn't just sentiment? What if it's prophecy?
