You skipped the intro and now the ending doesn’t make sense. Life has setups too.

Endings only land if you were there for the setup. Skip the early, slow, apparently pointless part and the payoff arrives as confusion, whether it is a school subject, a friendship, or a family argument with twenty years underneath it. Very little is actually random. You came in late.

When something makes no sense, go looking for the part you missed instead of arguing with the ending. Ask what happened before you arrived. Sit through the dull first weeks of a new thing on purpose, since that is where the terms get quietly set.
