After everything — the repairs, the farm, the longing, and the chase — Roz finally reaches the place she has been fighting to return to. Her long journey ends in a homecoming. The island is still there, just as Brightbill promised, and the animals who never forgot her welcome her back. Roz is free at last. She is no longer the company's property, no longer a worker on a farm, no longer a fugitive running through the wild. By escaping, she has emancipated herself — she has reclaimed her home, her family, and the right to live the life she chooses. With Brightbill beside her and her old friends around her, Roz feels a deep contentment and a quiet serenity she could not find anywhere else. She is, at last, whole. Yet the story does not pretend that everything is solved forever. Roz knows that the wider world has not forgotten her, and that the freedom she has won may still have to be defended. Her homecoming is real and joyful — but it is also the calm before whatever comes next. For now, though, Roz has done what she set out to do. She has found her way home, and she is exactly where she belongs.
