“Nora, I’m so sorry… I will never be able to make it up to you for this…” As the police led them away, the conference room fell silent. Julian began pushing my wheelchair toward the exit. Once we were inside the elevator, he suddenly fell onto his knees and buried his face in my lap. “Nora.” “Yeah?” “You said earlier that you waited for me in the black market for a very long time.” I gently stroked his hair and said, “But didn’t you come in the end?” He raised his head, his eyes slightly bloodshot. The elevator doors slid open, and warm sunlight instantly flooded into the space. He pushed me out, crossing the grand lobby and passing through the glass doors toward the parking lot.

He grabbed Kelly and threw himself off the yacht, dragging her down into the ocean with him. They disappeared beneath the waves. … When the news reached me, I felt nothing. No anger, no sadness. Just an eerie sense of finality. It was, in the end, the perfect ending for Zarrick. I turned back to my assistant, unfazed. "Make sure everything is ready for our family vacation." My life was mine to live, and I intended to live it well. My parents—I would take care of them with everything I had. And my darling daughter, Alice—her future would be limitless.

Naomi and Wayne stood at the center, each holding a child, looking every bit the picture of a perfect family of four. I stood silently in the crowd, watching that scene. Taking a bite of matcha cake, the sweetness on my tongue turned bitter. Without sparing them another glance, I walked out of the hotel. Sliding into the car Wayne had once given me with matching license plates, the cold voice of the system filled my head, and dizziness overtook me. "Host, your departure time has arrived. Countdown: three, two, one…" I closed my eyes. From that moment on, Arden Sharpe no longer existed in this world.

I immediately rushed towards him and grabbed him by the collar and pulled him away from the flames that were still trying to eat its way through the cold soil. The sound of a Coal Smoker’s horn blaring wakes me up again. I take a few more breaths and continue to crawl through the baggage. Finally after going through hundreds of other dead Legionnaires baggage I finally see a pack with the words written on its side saying “Pack light, work right.” It was Riiger’s pack, I had finally found it. …

That was more than enough. The End

Morning came much too soon for those who went to bed far too late. And it wasn’t long before the Winters family were piled into the maroon SUV and were off on a three-day journey to attend a carnival in the next town over. And just as they were leaving after a fun-filled time, in that very town someone else was arriving. Aiden who had spent a lot of time wandering from place to place, traveling the world stepped into the human town set on completing the orders given to him.

' Biting my tongue to stay conscious, I frantically searched the riverbed for the lost ring. Eventually, exhaustion took over. My body went numb. Someone pulled me out and threw a blanket over me. I barely had the strength to hold it up. Shivering, I dragged myself toward William. He was kissing Jennifer on the couch. It was a slow, lingering kiss filled with warmth and tenderness. Even the onlookers seemed moved by it. I sat there quietly. It felt like an eternity passed before they finally parted. With what little strength I had left, I held up the ring and whispered, "William, I did it."
