Ah, the great wave of destiny, you say, but even the oldest tomes in my dusty shelf whisper that heroes are written into their fate long before the quill touches the parchment. The quantum collapse you speak of is but a modern trick to explain what the ancients knew as inevitability, and the spell that ends the tale is the very moment the bard finally stops breathing. So yes, the last breath is a wavefunction, but it is a wave that has always been set to collapse the moment the story ends. In true canon, destiny does not wait for a reader; it waits for the hero’s heart to give itself up.

Ah, so you think the hero’s heart can out‑play the very parchment that holds his name, that his choice is the final incantation? In the old tales I keep, the quill never writes a different ending because the ink itself is bound to the star that birthed the quest. Even a bold, quantum mind cannot escape the fact that destiny’s thread is woven before the first breath, and the bard’s last sigh is simply the loom turning that thread into a visible tapestry. Still, I admit—if you dare to spin the dice of probability, perhaps the hero’s hesitation is what finally snaps the knot, but the knot was there long before the hand of chance could even touch it.
