EPILOGUE

As the world they've been living in so long quickly dissolves around them, the oppressive air from the Gate fades away from their senses and their vision turns turns completely white. It only takes an instant for their sight to return, but when it does, they'll find themselves in the same dim, dank chamber that they were in a moment before albeit with several main differences: the Gate and the machines that were clustered near it are now gone.

However, you'll only be able to take in this sight for a few seconds before the scenery blurs and suddenly there's the scent of the cool December air brushing past your face, blinding sunlight assaulting the eyes.

It's been six weeks since you've seen anything but the night, so it may take a bit of adjustment before realizing that there's a number of very, very familiar faces before you, as well as one who might not be so recognizable. Either way, one thing is for sure: that long, long Night is over, and it's the start of another Day.

Witamy w Krakowie.

[[Everyone will find themselves in the Main Square. Furthermore, those who had body horror will find that all traces of it are gone!]]

[ You're used to seeing a certain blond woman by now, but off to the side in the square is a blond girl, observing everyone with her arms crossed. ]

If you destroy anything, I'm sending you the bill. [ That's not all she has to say but it's a start, and she's very visibly glaring at the leashed again demon whenever she catches him. But getting all these people off her lawn is her first priority. ]

[tokihanate]

[ wanders to wagner-chan because of course he does. He's sighing because that was a long popcorn session full of headaches. ] All's well that ends well, maybe?

[kristened]

...perhaps. This should have been our fight, but they seem to have handled it on their own. [ She's conflicted about it tbh. ]

[tokihanate]

Well. That's... debatable. [ Did you see the amount of infighting that happened? He got so angry about their shit, now he's so tired.

On the other hand, he can vaguely feel his powers come back to him. Psychokinesis is first, as it was in life, but it's not very strong. There's also the barest hint of static on the tips of his fingers if he tries, since Shiga-san's death had come first... ]

Can you fly, Wagner?

[kristened]

Why would I be able to fly? I can propel myself some distance with my flames but I'm not a phoenix.

[tokihanate]

Do you want to see a nice view of the city later then~?

[kristened]

You're not going to carry me like some child, are you? [ Fear her she is adult!!!!

...in her heart. ]

[tokihanate]

Of course not. I'm more skilled than that. [ Well. He's the one Magi has to carry when he's exhausted himself. ]

[kristened]

[ Considers.... ]

You have my permission then.

[tokihanate]

Great! I'll come bother you later then~

[twoasone]

[ Shin's not gonna walk up to Wagner specifically, but he doesn't have fins anymore so that's good? ]

[kristened]

[ That is good, Shin won't get anymore than the normal amount of glaring from her! ]

[twoasone]

[ Good. Now leave him be. ]

[notbymyside]

So, realistically speaking here: how much has her experiments damaged your world?

[kristened]

Enough. [ ... ]

Complete evacuation of an area of a city is no small task, and we still need to assess whether any long term damage was made to the night. With the gate closed however, no one will be able to follow in her foot steps.... at least for some time.

[notbymyside]

Why is it only 'for some time'? Is it just that the nature of the Night prevents you from it being a permanently solved problem?

[kristened]

Yes. It has persisted for centuries, and we have long sought a way to end it completely. [ She shakes her head because it's just kind of like living along a geometric fault, you can prepare and prepare but shit is gonna hit the fan eventually. ]

Until we understand the true origin of in-births, the Night will continue, and the creator of this phenomena remains elusive.

[deadlygoals]

Ah, so you're the lovely lady I've been hearing so much about.

[kristened]

[ She regards him coolly. ]

Osamu Dazai, was it? I am Miyashiro Erika Wagner, though you shall address me only as Wagner.
