Curiosity uses the pen The Writer gave him to account all his experiences. Though it takes a long time, eventually the city of Inspiration is brought to its former glory, and Curiosity builds himself a new Ideas Desk.
He survives on his own ideas for a while, but he knows it’s impossible to make enough ideas for everyone on his own, so he put a “Help Wanted” sign on the (now larger) door.
The next day, he is met by all the faces of the old Ideas Desk, but they do not recall anything that has happened. He gladly welcomes them in, and allows them to take back their old positions.
Though Curiosity is satisfied with everything the way it is, he begins to feel restless. Originality asks him what’s wrong. He replies, “Everything has been settled here, but there’s still other places that lack Inspiration. I can just feel it.”
Originality looks at him knowingly, and tells him that his adventure is not over. The next day, Curiosity packs and leaves the Ideas Desk, entrusting it in Explanations’ hands while he is gone.
Curiosity has yet to find a permanent residence anywhere. He goes everywhere that lacks Inspiration, encouraging creators to continue creating, and fights Discouragement wherever he appears.
The Ideas Desk is still holding strong. If you go there now, Originality always smiles and points at the two most important words that Curiosity wrote on the walls of the old Ideas Desk: What if?
