**Panel 1 (Full-page spread):** A Reddit thread titled *"Did Jin and Yuri just break reality?"* explodes with activity. The top comment—a photo of the original Seed buried under Eclipse Corp's HQ—has 1M upvotes. The final reply from u/EclipseCorpOfficial glitches into a live feed: *"Interesting fan theory! Stay tuned for our *official* finale. 😉"* **Caption**: *"The algorithm fights back."*

**Panel 1:** They descend into the fissure, the walls lined with pulsating Shade-tech. The air grows heavier, the Rot's presence suffocating.
**Panel 2:** Jin's Seed flickers, its light barely piercing the darkness. **Jin (internal)**: *"It's feeding on me… but I can't stop."*

**Panel 1:** They reach a massive cavern. At its center: a **shard of the Crown**, embedded in a pool of liquid Rot. The shard pulses, its energy forming a spectral figure—**the child**, now older, their void eyes glowing.
**Panel 2:** The child smiles, their voice echoing. **Child**: *"You thought you won… but the game's just beginning."*
**Panel 3:** Jin's Rot surges, crystallizing into armor. **Jin**: *"I'm ending this. Now."*

**Page 6:**
**Panel 1:** The child dissolves into ash, their voice lingering: *"The Crown is eternal… and so am I."*
**Panel 2:** The shard pulses, releasing tendrils of Rot that wrap around Jin. **Jin (struggling)**: *"Yuri—!"*
**Panel 3:** Yuri's prosthetic arm morphs into a Shade-blade. She slashes at the tendrils, but they regenerate instantly. **Yuri**: *"We need to destroy it!"*

**Page 7:**
**Panel 1:** Jin's Seed pulses weakly. He slams it into the shard, but the energy absorbs it, growing stronger. **Jin**: *"It's… too much."*
**Panel 2:** Yuri's book glows brighter. Kara's voice grows urgent: *"The shard's a prison. Free them!"*
**Panel 3:** Jin's Rot crystallizes into a massive blade. He plunges it into the shard, shattering its surface.

**Page 8:**
**Panel 1:** The shard explodes, releasing a shockwave of light and shadow. Jin and Yuri are thrown back, the cavern collapsing around them.
**Panel 2:** The shard's fragments reform into spectral figures—lost souls, including Min-ah and Kara. **Min-ah (smiling)**: *"You did it."*
**Panel 3:** The souls dissolve into light, their energy stabilizing the Seed. The fissure seals, the Rot's presence fading.

**Page 9:**
**Panel 1:** Jin and Yuri emerge into the sunlight. The world feels lighter, the black veins in the soil gone.
**Panel 2:** Jin's Seed glows steadily, its light pure. **Jin (whispering)**: *"Is it… over?"*
**Panel 3:** Yuri's prosthetic arm is now inert, her expression unreadable. **Yuri**: *"For now."*

**Page 10 (Full-page cliffhanger):**
**Panel 1:** The final panel zooms out, showing the renewed world—vibrant and peaceful. But in the distance, a single fissure glows faintly.
**Panel 2:** A shadowy figure watches from the forest—**the child**, now older, their void eyes glowing. **Child**: *"The Crown is gone… but the Rot remains."*
**Panel 3:** The Seed's light flickers, casting Jin's shadow as a monstrous silhouette.
**Cliffhanger Text**: *"Next: The Last Fissure."*

**Key Developments**:
- **Crown's Destruction**: The Rot's heart is shattered, but its remnants linger.
- **Souls Freed**: Min-ah and Kara's spirits find peace, but their influence may linger.
- **The Child's Return**: A harbinger of the Rot's resurgence, hinting at a new threat.
**Visual Contrast**:
- **Renewed World**: Vibrant and peaceful, but with faint cracks beneath the surface.
- **The Child**: A symbol of the Rot's duality—innocence and corruption intertwined.
**Addictive Hooks**:
- **The Last Fissure**: What lies beneath it, and is it a threat or an opportunity?
- **Yuri's Future**: With her prosthetic arm inert, will she seek new power or embrace peace?
- **Jin's Shadow**: His monstrous silhouette hints at the Rot's lingering influence.
**Tone**: Bittersweet victory. The world is renewed, but the cost of balance remains. Readers will question if true peace is possible—or if the Rot's hunger is eternal.
