Act IV: The Bloom

And suddenly, the world was full of color.

The bloom is not a fairy tale ending but something harder-won and more honest. Love arrives — tentative, then overwhelming. Sarah writes to Kenneth, about jumping together, about transplanting a life. The final poem is an invocation: Awaken, darling / Witness love / Unadulterated. After everything, the world is full of color.
