Yes, exactly. It’s a bitter but necessary awakening. It works out pretty well for the other characters -they get what they wanted at the beginning of the story and are satisfied. The cost is The Future, which works out since that is essentially what the MC sacrifices. It just feels weird to classify this as a Triumph with no caveats! When I saw the premise I was like, yep, this checks out! But I may need to revisit it?
