In the aftermath of her trials, Jessamine realizes that the Great Library is more than just a collection of books. It is a symbol of the enduring spirit of humanity, a testament to the power of knowledge and the indomitable will to overcome darkness. And as the pages of history continue to unfold, Jessamine's legacy will forever be etched into the tapestry of the Great Library, a beacon of hope for generations to come.
