Epilogue

After all is said and done, in the wake of the void and sprinting through one final door.

You come out into light. Sunlight actually, a backyard in what appears to be a typical suburban town, if you're familiar with those. The sun shines cheerfully overheard, blissfully unaware of what everyone has went through. And this is everyone, as faces you haven't seen in weeks tumble out in one pile from a basement door.

Happy Saturday, everyone.

There's plenty of reunions and catching up to do, but you've utterly left Aira Niluc behind you after seven long weeks. And through the window of the house which looks like it has seen a better seen better days is one wall mural that reads "And they all lived Happily Ever After".

[[ Happy Golden End everyone, you've earned it! There's still the matter of sorting out where to next, but everyone is whole and alive and without button eyes. Using the knowledge from the object Phil had and the beldam's magic, they can also now world hop only one side effect...the portal that opens to everyone else's worlds here? Is made entirely of pixie dust. Everyone's powers will also restore fully over the course of the next few hours. ]]

I'm bringing two people home And I helped kick Ferry's butt So I'm happy You did great

[He just laughs.]

I didn't do all that much. I can't believe Phil actually ended up doing more than I did there... can't believe I got out-classed by a total loser.

[It's said with genuine love, though.]

He'd have been hopeless without you So I think that still counts

Yeah, you're probably right.

[...]

... I'm sorry I couldn't do anything to protect you that night, though.

[Blink blink.]

Unless you've secretly had the power to stay awake during the magical sleep this whole time I don't really think you have anything to apologize for?

Still.

[He still feels like he should have been able to do something when Suga had been right there at the party with all of them.]

No stills or buts Don't blame yourself when there was nothing you could do

... yeah. And you're here now, right?

[That's all that really matters.]

Right I'm going home with my boyfriend and one of my best friends I couldn't be happier

Oh yeah? Who else are you kidnapping? I kinda expected the first one, but that second part there was a surprise.

Pericles He wouldn't be safe in his own world So he's coming to mine You should visit sometime, Marcus-nii

You bet, and I'll drag Phil away from his research and bring him along too. He could really use a vacation, know what I mean?

[Double date? Double date.]

[Double date!!]

Make sure he remembers to relax sometimes

[He laughs.]

Don't worry, I will, even if I have to throw him over my shoulder and carry him outside.

Wouldn't a bridal carry be more appropriate

[Teasing.]

I've already done that twice. Sometimes you need a change of pace.

[Not that he doesn't enjoy doing it, though.]

I feel like Phil probably would appreciate it more than being carried like a sack of potatoes But I'm not the Phil expert

Probably.

[He's gonna chalk this up to their near-death experience scrambling his common sense afterwards, because he really doesn't have any other excuse for picking Suga up and tossing HIM over his shoulder with a laugh.]

Yeah, just what I thought. This is a lot more convenient for me.

[...eh?

Ehhh?

This is embarrassing!! He's a grown man!! Suga hides his bright red face with his hands.]

[HE'S STILL THE LITTLE BROTHER AND THEREFORE THIS MUST BE DONE.

He'll be nice and put him down after a few moments, though!]

You're so embarrassing, Marcus-nii !!

[Exclamation points extremely necessary.]

[He's sorry for laughing! But also kind of not.]

What, I'm not allowed to be embarrassing sometimes? I thought that was one of the perks of being a big brother.

I wouldn't know You're the first big brother I've had

[He doesn't know enough about siblings to dispute this.]

And I've never had any brothers either, so that makes us even.

But if you come visit, you can meet my "sister." She's a little younger than you are.

Phil has two mirrites?
