a protruding structure that supports a building or wall and is made out of bricks or stones
A buttress is an architectural feature designed to provide support and stability to a wall or structure. Typically made of stone or brick, a buttress extends from the wall and often has a sloping design that helps distribute the weight and counteract the forces exerted on the structure, especially in tall buildings like cathedrals. Buttresses are commonly seen in Gothic architecture, where they are used to support the weight of high ceilings and large windows. There are different types of buttresses, including flying buttresses, which extend away from the building and are connected by an arch, allowing for more open space and larger windows. Buttresses not only serve a structural purpose but can also add an aesthetic element to the design of a building.

In this phase, the consequences of the characters' actions are revealed, and the story's final outcomes are explained.
