Wait, we're in London now?!
When are we gonna get to the world's largest ball of twine!? You promised to tie up ALL the loose ends...

XD lol @fromage didn't we already do the ball of twine part? If there was something unresolved about it, please tell me ASAP so I can work it in to the next (and final) installment ;)
Also: did I really say all the loose ends? @#$%
In case I did, there's something you should know about me:
I'm a liar.
@bennettitalia,
You don't have to tie up everything. Moreover, there's a couple of decent arguments suggesting that you shouldn't:
1.) Loose ends are the stuff of sequels; and
2.) When everything gets 100% resolved, people no longer have to think about your story. "Leave them wanting more" is synonymous with "don't answer all the questions."
A good author sadistically tortures his/her audience. :-)

Lol yes, agreed.
Moreover, ambiguity is the stuff of day to day life, and therefore rings more true. It can make even the most outrageous tale seem plausible on a subjective level.
But @fromage is correct, I did exaggerate about tying up the loose ends ;)
