“Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what’s on the other side?”
― George R.R. Martin,
A Game of Thrones

I always read the end of the book before I start the story.

No kidding. I cannot help it. It’s the same with any movie or series. I cannot help but watch the end before I start watching the show. That’s why I never start reading or watching any show before the series is complete, and I know, for sure, how it ends.

That’s why I watched Iron Man’s death in The Endgame before I watched all the parts to all the series in the Marvel series; and that’s why I read about Sirius’s, Dumbledore’s, and Snape’s death before I started reading the Harry Potter series; and maybe that’s why I make sure that I know of all the heartbreaks throughout the story so that I am well prepared with a bottle of water and a huge box of tissue.

My curiosity to know how it ends drives me insane. The feeling is real and painful — though more towards the insane end of the spectrum.
