final chapter

Last section written

The final chapter is the last section of a book, and by extension, the concluding phase of any extended narrative or endeavor.

Someone facing terminal illness may speak of entering their final chapter.

A company's bankruptcy becomes the final chapter in a story of mismanagement.

The phrase carries weight because chapters imply a structured story with an ending that gives meaning to what came before.
