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!]]

Yare yare... it wasn't any trouble. I'd help you no matter what.

[ Only a small amount of people he would do that for ]

Come on...

[ Holding out his hand. If Rean takes it, he's going to try to pull the other down. ]

Sit with me.

[reanbeans]

[ He knew it be true, so there was nothing to say to refute that.

Still, he'll take his hand, and then look surprised when he's pulled down, but that'll instantly turn sheepish as he's made to sit down. ]

...Sure.

[ He'll look up at the sky, and through all of that he felt conflicted, a silence coming over him. He realized he won't be seeing some faces, after this, as the sunrise was upon them. ]

Dazai, this is probably our last day together, isn't it?

[deadlygoals]

[ It's break time. His gaze shifts from the sky, to the person who brightness kept him going during that time in the Night. ]

It's our first day without all of that hanging on your shoulders.

[ Giving a soft smile as he moves to put an arm across Rean's back to give him a partial hug as they sit there. ]

It might be our last day, too. We should make the most of it.

[reanbeans]

...It's about time.

[ He'll turn into the hug, so he can give him an actual one, arms wrapping around him.

This was the last time they were going to be seeing each other—or at least that's what Rean thought. He might as well made it count.

Though, he'll eventually pull away, smiling sadly. ]

Was there anything you'd like for us to do together? Pick a place, and I'll go with you. It could be anywhere.

[deadlygoals]

[ He'll slowly wrap his arms around Rean in return. A part of him is tempted to just stay like this, until they have to part. Bumping his forehead lightly against Rean's shoulder as he sighs. ]

It is about time.

[ He's going to miss being able to hug someone like this. It was starting to slowly feel like that maybe there was something that really could start to fix that void inside of himself.

Then Rean is pulling away. Searching his expression for a moment before the corner of his mouth lifts up. ]

You'll smack me if I voice my first thought. [ A beat and then he'll nod in a direction. ]

What about a date? We can grab some food and go up to the clock tower to enjoy the view.

[ It can just be a friend date. ]

[reanbeans]

[ He'll let him...it's honestly their final day, so you know.

Honestly, though. Rean was going to worry, not being able to check up on Dazai, and for a moment, it probably showed on his face. For as much difficulty the two had from time to time, with things getting ridiculous and then the complicated nature somewhat due to feelings...

Well. Rean couldn't say he'll be able to get used to Dazai not being there. He was just so much of a constant. ]

I probably will, yeah.

[ But he smiled a little for a moment, even if the other mentioned something about a date, and then he just looked sad. This was the most inopportune time to feel his eyes become wet, though that had actually nothing to do with dates, but rather it sinking in they'll have to part ways.

No goodbyes had been exchanged and already he was like this. ]

...I don't mind grabbing something to eat and sitting together on the clock tower with you. There's probably a lot we're going to need to talk about.

Of course, fast food's out of the question.

[deadlygoals]

[ Meeting his gaze and seeing those eyes start to tear up. Lifting his hand up for a moment and then he'll turn his hand to brush his knuckles gently against Rean's cheek. He feels a certain heaviness in his heart at the possibility of saying good bye. Best to leave it until they are out of time. ]

If it helps, it's not too untoward.

[ Dropping his hand to grab Rean's in his own. Slowly he's going to stand up, and give Rean a tug to get him as well. ]

We have time until they figure out the machine. Let's see what the kitchens here have in stock.

[ Considering their friendship started because of food, it was fitting that their time together here should end with something they both made together. It's illogical and sentimental, but it's something he wants to cherish as long as he can. ]
