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!]]

I'm going to have nightmares for weeks, thanks.

[he's already been having nightmares!! so this isn't helping!!!!!]

But more importantly, if you're showing up where I am, then that's a sign someone's set up a contract with you, and I'm going to have to kill them.

[...he's going home with cumore, mikami, and dist, so it better not happen!!!]

You're quite welcome!

[ He hums. ]

Normally I'm not so keen on getting my master's killed, you know.

Things were certainly a bit different this time around. It's not every day your master sets up something like this, after all.

[can't wait for antumbra 2: erik's wild ride]

I'm not complaining, though. I wanted her dead, and you assisted with that in what ways you could.

Aha, that much is true. But truthfully speaking, all of this wasn't any more than running a mansion full of infantile servants day in and day out. [ Smiiiiiiiiiiile. ]

I imagine most people did, but you have my thanks for acting as swiftly as you did. Had she been creative she would have been able to give me orders through non-verbal means, but in the end her arrogance was her demise.

[seb suffers so much..........]

I always knew it would be. I am lucky the others were quick to react, however. There wasn't much I could do from my position.

[Like, yeah, he had a gun, but he only had a single day of lessons with Dazai and he wasn't going to risk trying to shoot her while Rean and Raven were in her face?? So he formed the plan, Cumore set it off, and they relied on everyone else to do the work for them. What else were you expecting, though??]

You must be looking forward to using your magic again. Perhaps you could even make use of both methods of illusion you now have at your disposal. [ I mean it worked so! Their timing was perfect tbh. ]

[can't believe his success rate in antumbra is higher than canon.......]

I am, yes. I do intend to learn more about Illusio and see what I can do with it. It's different enough that it may prove useful with my magic.

[he's going to be able to turn himself invisible on top of all of his other really broken magic and that's HORRIFYING, why did you allow this!!!!!]

Oh, and if Rideaux asks, maybe you'll consider being kind and refuse to tell him what my power is.

[he is still just this petty]

[ Go Iago go! ]

I didn't think anyone would call me kind after the events that transpired here. [ His grin is very pointy, much like it was when he was a horror show. ]

But as you may have noticed, I only do what interests me. Unless I am ordered otherwise, of course.

Oh, I'm fully aware. You aren't kind and you do what you want, but I thought maybe I'd catch your interest one last time before we part.

After all, who would I be without spite and arrogance?

[That's it, that's Iago.]

[ He laughs. ]

Of course. Incidentally, he has asked me about you before and bartered with me for what exactly lies behind your mask.

He did what. Did you tell him?

[HEY WHAT THE FUCK, RIDEAUX???????]

I am a devil, Iago. If the deal is good enough... in this case I accepted his offer in exchange for his theories on what happens to souls who perished here. [ It wasn't explicit confirmation but he did pretty much know by the end that the dead were a thing. ]

It was valuable information, you understand. If it matters, he was even willing to sleep with me to find out the truth.

[gods, rideaux, even he didn't sell anyone out to get information!!!!!!]

He was willing to sleep with you to find out what's under my mask.

[...............this might as well happen.]

What did you tell him. Exactly.

Indeed. [ Why does he sound so smug. ]

Exactly what is under there, of course. Absolutely nothing at all!

[......................trrrrying not to laugh—]

You're horrible. Absolutely dreadful. Please tell me he looked supremely disappointed with that answer.

Oh, it was marvelous.

[and for one brief, shining moment, sebastian was the only valid person in this game.]

I'm glad to hear it! If my secrets must be exposed, then at least he would find it unsatisfactory!

[almost a shame rideaux didn't sleep with you for that info tbh]

[ wow. ]

Hiding things does make people curious—your play with your mark is similar to how Lucrezia hid the true motive of this behind orchestrated murders.

The less I think about that, the better.

[Like on the one hand, Ango probably feels like total shit and he deserves that! On the other, Dist died for no goddamn reason. So thanks, he hates it.]

Of course, of course. [ He gives Iago a small nod. ]

It really is farewell then, unless Teru Mikami changes his mind down the road.

I'll kill him before he gets the chance.

[He's smiling when he says it, but he's deadly serious.]

Nothing personal, of course. I simply don't want any of my plans to be interrupted.

[Just because the interruption changed his life in a good way this time doesn't mean it'd be good next time!!]

Ohoh, is that how it is? Truly a pity. [ But hey he's fine with it, he's got a new meal to look forward to. ]

Best of luck then, you'll need it. [ He isn't even saying this to be really offensive but have you seen the four of you, it's gonna be a giant mess. ]

[...heh.]

Three of us survived this game and Dist only died because that bastard specifically targeted him and eliminated his chance to fight back. Luck has nothing to do with it.

I told her not to underestimate me. Don't you start now, Devil.

[he overcame his shitty luck stat in this game and this is how you're gonna be smh!!!

But no, in some way he does appreciate it, as absolutely strange as that idea is. Rembrandt wouldn't offer it at all if he didn't want to, after all.]
