I think it just "falls off" and is deleted.

It just goes to that processor, it that processor handles it, then it "ends", if it goes through the entire processor, then it go back to the parent where the parent left off.

Yes, there's the envelope and the message (imagine a business letter, the envelope is From Google, To Microsoft, but the actual letter is addressed >From Eric and To Steve). There can be multiple envelope recipients, but only 1 sender. The envelope sender is where a message is bounced to.
