Epilogue

An epilogue or epilog (from Greek ἐπίλογος epílogos, meaning "conclusion" from ἐπί epi, "in addition," and λόγος logos, "word") is a section of writing at the end of a literary work, typically used to provide closure. It is presented from within the story's perspective. This is more accurately regarded as an afterword when the author directly addresses the reader. The opposite of an epilogue is a prologue, which is a piece of writing at the beginning of a literary or dramatic work, usually intended to set the stage and engage the audience. In some genres, such as television programs and video games, the epilogue is referred to as an "outro," following the terminology of "intro" for "introduction."

Epilogues are typically set in the future, after the main story concludes. They can hint at the next installment in a series in specific genres. They also satisfy the reader's curiosity and address any loose ends in the narrative.
