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. ]]

[You have put two quarters in the Edelgard. Now she will rant about politics.]

Crests are treated as the be-all end-all in terms of who should rule over others, when they're nothing but a genetic birthmark with dubiously elpful abilities. Are crests useful in combat? Yes. But it's crests that turn people into beasts, force children into roles that they have no desire for, make families resort to inbreeding to maintain them...

They're lauded as blessings from the goddess and anyone with a crest is allowed complete authority over their subjects, regardless of their moral character. It's an absurd caste system that needs to be broken for humanity to progress.
