I think the entire point of this story is just to show Kats growth. She's on the path to being a deity and every now and then we do a check in to see how she's handling things she can't control or understand. In this chapter we saw her take a bit of knowledge that she couldn't understand and seek a path to accepting it (even though she still couldn't understand it). The resolution of the story is not some resolution of a major conflict - it's showing the depths that Kat is capable of going to in order to save her friend. It's another step along her journey.
