[Final Day] Endgame

[arsgoetia]

And just as suddenly as everything had began, the demons are gone—all of them. Not a single crow feather remains. As if being sucked backwards out of a vacuum, sound and light flood into the room and the hallway, crashing down on you. You are back in the real world, with noise and physics and sunlight streaming in through the window.

You are also left with two bereft Bellcourt children, the older of which is suddenly doubling over in his wheelchair and shouting in anguish.

[AFTER ALL THE DRAMA]

[comes over and slumps next to]

I kinda feel like I owe everyone an apology, so...

[troublebrewing]

...

You did what you thought would be best.

[virtuallyroyalty]

A) I didn't, B) don't give me that bullshit.

[troublebrewing]

Then why!?

[virtuallyroyalty]

I was desperate, and things got out of control!

[troublebrewing]

It took your eye...

[virtuallyroyalty]

It hurt!

[troublebrewing]

But that means... the next time we come to this world... the crow demons will know.

[virtuallyroyalty]

...yeah. It's okay, I'm not expecting you guys to have anything to do with me.

[troublebrewing]

... Kazuki, come here.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Are you going to beat me up? I've already BEEN beat up.

[...but goes]

[troublebrewing]

[no I am going to hug you]

Don't be dumb. How long have you known us? We're going to stick even closer to you now.

[virtuallyroyalty]

And you say I'm the dumb one.

[...hugs.]

[troublebrewing]

You are. You're very dumb. But I think we like that.

[virtuallyroyalty]

You'd have to. Weirdos.

[troublebrewing]

Weirdos?

[virtuallyroyalty]

For liking someone cause they're dumb.

[troublebrewing]

That's not the only reason. You're brave, too.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Isn't that a nice way of saying stupid?

[but he's joking~]

[troublebrewing]

No, it's a nice way of saying 'reckless'.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Jeez!

[troublebrewing]

But... we're all reckless, here. We do some... dangerous things, to save the people we care about.

[virtuallyroyalty]

...I guess so, huh?

[troublebrewing]

I exorcised the sword from Lucia using a chant I read from a text message.

[virtuallyroyalty]

Woah, that's pretty quick thinking!
