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. ]]

... yeah. I'm not gonna say it didn't make some things worse, [like when Suga died--] but... I'm glad I met everyone here, even though I'm still not sure how to feel about all of this.

...I guess it might also be a little different for us, who thought everything was really over...

[Anything beyond "coming back to life" has been a pleasant surprise, all things considered.]

I'd ask what it was like, but that feels kind of intrusive, you know?

[Even if he is very curious, in part just because he wants to be sure that it wasn't too awful for them.]

Oh, it wasn't that different! It looked just like this side, except there were more fairies, and people who died again would come back at the dining room after a while, and we wouldn't really get hungry...

We couldn't see anything that was happening over here, so all we had to go on was Tenn's letters. William wanted to help him find the traitors, so we all tried our best to help, but we were mostly busy solving puzzles for Ferry.

But she turned out to be a traitorous monster in the end, so we all fought her just now, and then managed to get back to this side!

[Simple!]

... died again?

[He's sorry, he's kind of stuck on that bit there. He'll get to the rest in a moment, he swears!]

Gin killed me again the moment I arrived.

[We do not speak of the Moriarty Snowball Incident.]

Okay, I can't say I blame him for that, but... was death just not permanent there or something?

That's right. Even though [...] Even though people died multiple times, they would always come back. William and I sparred to the death so we could gauge each other's strength for the final battle, and he was just fine afterwards.
