The Third Act · the follow-up desk

How the story ended.

Every feed shows you Act One and walks away. Here, stories close: RESOLVED when reality settles them (with the outcome), FADED when the world moved on without an ending — said plainly, which is its own kind of honesty. Sealed takes open the moment a story resolves.

Resolved — with outcomes

Nothing closed yet — the desk marks resolutions from the Control Room as reality settles them. The follow-up desk re-surfaces aging stories automatically below.

Faded — left without an ending
