EPILOGUE

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 think I am, yes. I won't lie, it's tempting to not have to face it and go somewhere else, but...even if it means I have to fight again for a little longer, I want a future where all my friends can smile together. And I don't think I'll need to rely on someone like the Beldam to do it.

[She smiles.]

Hmm, but I don't think you and Riku are even born yet where I'm from--I'm gonna be an old lady when you make your debut! I'll look forward to it!

I'm glad you're sticking to your resolve, then. Really. I respect it, and I hope you're able to do what you want to.

[ The thought of old lady Rika, though, makes him laugh a little. ]

2016 really is that far off, is it? Well, young or old, you're still going to be someone I'll look forward to meeting again.

2016, huh...I'm from 1988, so I'll be...

[Rika tilts her head in thought as she tried to add it up.]

I'll be almost 45...

[She actually sounds a little amazed at the idea of being physically that old. Hopefully she'll have gotten at least a little taller!]

...Somehow, that's hard to picture.

[ Aging. Weird! ]

But even then, don't be a stranger when you see Riku and I. We'll be glad to talk to you again, no matter what.

Of course not. I might not be quite old enough to be your grandma, but Rika-obasan is still gonna spoil her hardworking friends!
