Having turned away from any hope of yielding to Rāvaṇa, resolved upon death, that fawn-eyed lady was—somehow—found by me at last, and quickly.

Sītā’s refusal to accept unrighteous coercion underscores satya and dharma—she will not betray righteousness even at the cost of life, revealing the moral gravity of integrity.
Hanumān recounts that Sītā, despairing and refusing Rāvaṇa, had reached a suicidal resolve, and that he nevertheless managed to locate her.
Sītā’s uncompromising integrity and Hanumān’s determined service—his perseverance becomes the practical instrument for restoring dharma.
