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!]]

[psychophant]

You continue to be one of the only acceptable people here.

[YOU GET HIM........]

[drydrown]

It's one of my charms.

[psychophant]

You continue to be cute.

[This time it's not teasing!! Maybe.]

...Are you going to be okay on your own for a bit?

[drydrown]

I think so, yes. All of that was a bit much, but I'll be fine for now.

[psychophant]

Good. I'm glad to hear it.

[more awkward shoulder pats!!]

I'll be back to find you as soon as I can, then.

[drydrown]

Of course, Iago.

[psychophant]

[So sometime later, after he's had a very long Moment with his boyfriend and otherwise talked to a few people and also looted some, Iago seeks out Cumore.]

Ah, there you are. Thank you for the invitation; Saphir and I will be joining you in Terca Lumireis.

[...]

That's the name he'd prefer to use now.

[it isn't some disgustingly sappy pet name, okay]

[drydrown]

...I was hoping that wasn't just you being disgusting. I'll remember that.

[psychophant]

I promise nothing. [we're gonna be so disgusting.] But no, that is his original name and he wants to use it again.

[drydrown]

Of course.

[...Anyway...]

Teru Mikami is also coming with us. He didn't warrant a stabbing.

[psychophant]

Teru Mikami lives another day.

[sigh!!!!! we could have had lawzard ending.......]

I suppose I'm pleased to hear that, though. As long as he doesn't get too annoying.

[drydrown]

He wants to meet Alexei so he can help me come up with a plan to overthrow him.

Teru Mikami is becoming a lot more fun nowadays.

[psychophant]

Did he? And here I thought it would take quite some time for him to become a person.

[iago be nice, goddamn]

I'm certainly looking forward to what the two of you do.

[drydrown]

He's still a work in progress. But my hopes are high.

[...Anyway.]

I am glad you're coming with us, you know.

[psychophant]

As am I. It may not be exactly what I envisioned for myself, but I can't imagine anything better.

[There are quite a few reasons for that, but ultimately it comes down to not wanting to leave Cumore behind. Saphir's coming with him regardless, of course, but remaining near Cumore is... comforting, maybe.

Not that he's ever going to voice that thought.]

This means I get to continue meddling. I hope you're prepared.

[definitely not anything as dumb as sentimentality!!!! it's just because he's a pain!!!!]

[drydrown]

Oh, don't worry. I imagine you'll be a bit too busy to do that for some time.

After all, I'm sure my sister is going to want to meet my new friends.

[MIMURA IS GOING TO EAT YOU ALIVE. she's such a bitch. he loves her.]

[psychophant]

...Please tell your sister to be nice to Saphir.

[SHE'S GONNA EAT HIM ALIVE YES, BUT SAPHIR IS GOING TO BE HER BULLYING TARGET??? PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN]

[drydrown]

Please. If I do that she'll never leave him be.

She'll move on eventually.

[...DO YOU SEE WHERE HE GETS IT FROM.]

[psychophant]

...Well, I can certainly see where the two of you are related.

[CUMORE YOU'RE SO MEAN.......... IS THIS REVENGE FOR BULLYING YOUR BF????]

[drydrown]

[yep.]

My sister is objectively the best. You'll get used to her eventually.

[psychophant]

I imagine we won't have much of a choice since we'll be staying with you for a bit.

[she's going to hate this until she realizes she gets to tease us forever, isn't she...]

[drydrown]

You can stay as long as you like, and she can't do anything about it. After all, I own the property.

[psychophant]

[It gets him to laugh, anyway...]

I'm sure we won't torment you and your sister forever. But I would like to be somewhere safe and secure for a little while.

[He just wants to rest. Please let him sleep. He has suffered so much.]

[drydrown]

...Likewise, at this point. No one will trouble us while we're there. Punishment is severe for trespassing on the estate without permission.

[Go Team Sleep For A Week.]

[psychophant]

Good, I'm pleased to hear it. I can't remember the last time I slept soundly.

[...a little over a week ago, before Saphir died, but that's not the point!!]

I appreciate it, Cumore.

[Cumore's done so much for him...]
