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. ]]

[ Makoto can't help but worry once the hugs and the Tenn-nii's have come and gone and Riku wanders off on his own. Maybe an extension of Makoto's concern for Tenn branches naturally to Riku, even if they hadn't talked quite as much before now.

But Makoto is here now, eventually following to sit beside Riku. He's quiet until Riku speaks up.

It really doesn't, does it? I seriously wasn't sure we'd make it at the end there.

But hey... you know, I'm really glad to have you back, Riku--ah.

[ Makoto blinks, because he's been calling him Riku this whole time. But now that he's face to face with him, Makoto can only hope he's not being rude. He still manages a tired smile that veers towards apologetic, shifting a little awkwardly. ]

Ah, I feel the same way... but... I knew we'd make it through. We're all pretty stubborn, after all.

[ He laughs quietly, and he brightens when Makoto says that. He doesn't even really think too much when Makoto calls him Riku. ]

I'm glad to be back. I'm happy... seeing you all again-- it really means a lot to me. And I'm happy that Tenn-nii has found so many people he loves.

That's for sure. She was pretty scary though.

[ Makoto relaxes at the mention of Tenn. It should be strange to care about these two after a short time, maybe, but he can't help it. He leans back, smile turning fond. ]

Well, he was pretty amazing. ... How much did you get to see on your end, anyway?
