Decisions and troubleshooting.
Can a character arc end without improvement?
Yes. A tragic or flat arc can be deliberate. Define the intended change or steadfast belief so the scenes support that direction.
Why does the final transformation feel unearned?
Add intermediate choices with consequences. A declaration near the ending cannot replace earlier evidence of a changing response.
Try it with your own source.
