RTS (Return from Subroutine) is a 65x instruction used to return control from a subroutine that was called from the same bank.

RTS pulls the return address from the stack, but increments the value by one before loading it into the program counter. In other words, RTS unwinds what JSR did to the stack. The stack pointer is incremented twice: during cycle 3 and cycle 4.

No flags are affected.

Forgetting to RTS can cause derailment as control falls through the end of the subroutine into the next one or garbage.
