What happened
The Cellar traps the travellers among counterfactual lives and looping dangers. Strak Var and the parasite Selun complicate the struggle. A vision involving Raven and a daughter belongs to this realm of possibility, rather than establishing a previously hidden child in the continuing story.
Where the book leaves us
MINO chooses a healing rewrite. Selun’s separate existence dissolves and the loops end, allowing the TARDIS to recover the travellers. The ending returns them to movement and wonder. Escape does not require declaring all the feelings raised by the unreal lives to have been meaningless.
