Epilogue

[lesmodsalouette]

EPILOGUE

Your stopped time has restarted. Whether you were in the grassy field or fighting for your life on the castle grounds, you'll suddenly find yourself in an untouched area of the gardens. Ish is back, and so are the items, and the dead.

You return to Chateau Ambregris with the certain knowledge that come Monday, you will greet a new week, in a home of your own choosing. No longer will the chime of the clocks hunt you down, no longer will the oppressive scent of roses haunt your senses, no longer will you be forced to watch the death of those you've come to love and hate.

Parting is such a bittersweet sorrow, isn't it?

Make merry one last time, in this castle of illusions. Ironically, your memories of this stolen time that never existed are the one thing that will truly remain to you.

END NOTES

🔮 All dead are revived as tsukumogami! Congrats on your immortality(?)
🔮 Any other contracts made with Ish will be honored
🔮 Characters may choose to leave for any world they desire.
🔮 Time has not passed while you were stuck in this loop!
🔮 There will be no cross-dimensional world travel, except for on Samhain (Witches New Year October 31st/November 1st). On these dates, Ish will enable everyone to visit each other's world freely.
🔮 Universal Communication will be possible, courtesy of Manba and Ish. Everyone who wants one will be given a small fox that can communicate with other foxes through voice and video; the foxes can talk and are fairly simple creatures, enjoy them and give them fried tofu once in a while.
🔮 Powers are on for the finale, but Ish will step in and yeet anyone who gets too out of hand back to their homeworld, so play nice! (or relatively nice. )

[OOC: Welcome to your epilogue! The timeloop is ended, the evil has been defeated, and you have some time to catch your breath in the castle before the rest of your life begins! ]

[ Normally he would simply agree with her and praise her for sticking things through and keeping hold of her ideals.

But...

But.

He owes her his own thoughts. It's a shame he's held them back so often. ]

Those who endure hardships throughout their life can often see it through a lens that has become muddied and broken. They have been taught to suspect and blame and expect the worst of others through their own experiences. Sometimes... there is nothing you can do but allow them to feel the way that they do.

[ Briefly, he thinks of Fandaniel, wanting nothing more than for the world to end just because he hates it so much. ]

That is to say... you are right, Lili. You are not them and you are able to stand on your own, head held high. But may I ask you for a favor?

[ He smiles, soft and fond, before continuing without her permission. ]

Reach your hand out to those who have given into despair, even if nothing should come of your efforts. Tales and acts of kindness and cooperation can pull hearts away from the emptiness of a cruel life, and the possibility that you may be able to accomplish that is worth the trial and error you may face. Shining light on the right heart could lead to the twinkling of stars in the night sky after they have long since faded.
