epilogue
意味: A section at the end of a book, play, or film that serves as a conclusion or afterword, often revealing what happened to the characters after the main story.
An epilogue provides closure or additional context after the main narrative has concluded. In novels, it often jumps forward in time to show the long-term consequences of the story's events. In plays, an epilogue was traditionally a speech addressed directly to the audience. Figuratively, an epilogue can refer to the final phase or aftermath of any series of events.
