I'm writing a psychological novel about different characters finding the meaning of their lives. But the ending reveals it was all part of an experiment (properly foreshadowed). Someone was trying to deduce an all-encompassing theory based on these individual cases. Said someone is presenting his theory in an attempt to save his people from a certain problem. This is the part that I've come to worry about, since it's all dialogue, discussing the events of the book, comparing characters and putting their struggles into a larger and more technical perspective than they had themselves. **What are some ways I can make this kind of ending interesting without making it into a drawn-out, abstract, dialogue-heavy info dump?**
