I really love the ending plus epilogue so much. The child of one thousand, showed the tragic jester what truly happens when you don't loose who you are. The truest hero. Now its time for the true hero, to lead the first face down the same path of a hero. The true hero closed his eyes alone the first time, the second time in the same place, he closed them with this loved ones. A surprisingly rare occurance of me being fully satisfied with an ending.
So if I'm guessing right, after correctly guessing the high monarchs name, he then did what no one else ever even thought about, treated his own world as a tower. You know thinking about it in retrospect why can't earth be classified as a tower? We already saw how the towers came to be and how several story towers are the original worlds of some monarchs. Kang was able to also become a monarch, so doesn't that make earth the jesters tower? The seasons continued, the earth tower wasn't yet completed. Kang always said that story towers always have a hidden clear condition, you just have to look and think really hard to find it. I wonder if his final word was said for the sake of a perfect clear, or if he truly did miss her despite having supposedly let her go. Idk why, but this isn't a story I expected to make me stop and go "hold on a moment. Why didn't I notice something that should have become obvious after jester removed his mask?". I'm so curious how this will end. Looking forward to what seems to be the remaining few chapters. I honestly hope this has a happy ending.
