What Happens During the Telophase of Mitosis?
During telophase, the chromosomes arrive at the poles of the cell and start to decondense, turning back into chromatin. Meanwhile, the nuclear membrane begins to re-form around each set of chromosomes, creating two distinct nuclei in one cell. It's like the cell is putting everything back in its place before splitting.

The chromosomes reach the cell poles, and the nuclear envelopes re-form around them. Essentially, the cell preps to become two.
Telophase is when the chromosomes are like, 'We had our fun,' and return to their comfy chromatin state while the nuclear envelope reappears to keep everything tidy. Cytokinesis usually follows, splitting the cell into two.
Chromosomes decondense. Nuclear envelope re-forms. Ready for cytokinesis.
