📍 ARC CONTEXT

As the twelfth and final episode, 'Zenshu' serves as the direct answer to Episode 11's devastating 'Despair,' which left the protagonists at their lowest point facing seemingly insurmountable odds. This finale is tasked with resolving the series' central conflicts and delivering payoff on the thematic threads — creativity, sacrifice, determination — that have been building across the entire twelve-episode run. There is no next episode; this is the destination.
