I was actually expecting Penny to develop dystonia coincidentally, and the RL would tie-in by needing to be learned in reverse ie optimizing from dystonic to normal. It is a much more pleasant ending than the protagonist’s tone the whole way through.
If I was writing a fanfic of this, I’d keep the story as is (+ or—the last paragraph), but then continue into the present moment which leads to the realization.
