As dimensional barriers collapse worldwide and the Collector begins manifesting fully in reality, Ava and Kieran race to the convergence point where all silver threads meet. Faced with an entity that feeds on the very concept of connection itself, they discover that their merged bond is spreading to other trapped souls, teaching them to resist. When the Collector offers to preserve their love eternally as part of its collection, Ava and Kieran realize that true connection isn't about preservation—it's about choosing to bond despite the knowledge that all connections are temporary.

Their defiance of entropy itself unravels the cosmic web not through destruction, but by showing countless trapped souls that they can choose temporary, meaningful connections over eternal imprisonment. As reality sorts itself back into proper configurations, Ava and Kieran emerge changed but whole, ready to help others discover that love's fragility is exactly what makes it precious. The Collector is gone, but the capacity for genuine connection spreads across the world like dawn breaking over infinite possibilities.
