    Spoiler alert!*

    • = There's actually no good translation for this in Swedish, so we use the English phrase.

      My first thought was “all doors are closed“ :D I overthought it again, however

                    Well, not if you are above 100. According to the statistics only a few dies over 100...

                      Could this also be translated with “…at the end”? I.e. does “i slutet” just mean “eventually”, or can it also mean “during the ending (of a book/film)”?

                      That would absolutely be fine. :)

                        Yes, it's not really an idiomatic way of phrasing it in standard English.
