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! ]

I don’t know. [ she answers honestly. ] I’m happy right now, but…

[ hmm… how to put it. ]

He’ll… probably have to go back to where he came from very soon. And once he leaves, I don’t think we’ll see each other again.

[ it’s just the way things are. she’s not happy with them but… she can’t complain either. at the end of the day, she ended up being given the miracle of extra time… and that’s as good as it will have to be. ]

...I don't know if I will ever see the Deputy Head again. He might be stuck in the rainbow for eternity.

[It seems like a drastic change of topic, but he continues.]

I still...care for him, no matter how far away he is. I hope you do the same. I'm sure Richard will want that.

[simulacres]

I don't think I could ever forget him if I tried.

[ there's probably a lot of questions to be had there. 'why is the deputy head stuck in a rainbow?' being one of the main ones. ]

But I think... finding my own reason, separate from Richard, is probably what he would also want. That doesn't mean that I won't care about him. I think it's probably the opposite?

[ quite the opposite, actually. she's quite certain that what richard would want is for her to live as freely as possible and hanging onto his loss would only hinder that. no, the best thing to do... would be to use the life that he helped protect for something that he would be proud of. ]

[antline]

I see.

[What an odd concept. To find one's own reason, instead of letting someone else dictate it...]

I hope it works out for you, Ayaka.
