The New Normal World of a Story's Resolution

The resolution represents the final scene or scenes of this story, perhaps from 98% to 100%. It takes place at the very end of the third act, which began back at the 75 % mark. As the word gests, the resolution resolves the story even though the main conflict has ended with the previous beat of the climactic moment. Although in some standalone stories, a character's arc will be definitive, that's not really how it works in life. In real life, we follow one personal transformation with another and another change in the external world is never conclusive.
