Ed goes alone. He finds a figure sitting on a crate—not a villain, not a god. Just a man in a grey coat, ordinary as dust. STRANGER: “Do you want to know who I am?” ED: “I want to know why.” STRANGER: “Because you were the only one in that bank who didn’t look away. You saw the robber as a person. Most people see monsters. You see the tired, the broken, the forgotten.” The Stranger reveals he’s one of many—a network of “messengers” who find the nearly invisible and give them purpose. The cards were never tests. They were mirrors. STRANGER: “Now you see what you are, Ed Kennedy. You’re not the message. You’re the messenger. And the job never ends.”
