—– Epilogue
A Game of Life which is intertwined with the future
A Cellular Automaton of hope and disappointment
Where every ray of light see pain The pain is ret than the pain of loss, as her limbs are bound by the curse of the darkness she writhes in
Lives will be made and countless will be lost
The De and the Hero, they will save the descendants of life! The world is , and life comes in many forms That which is beautiful will stay beautiful, that which is strong will stay strong In order to preserve this balance, who kno much blood will be shed?
While she was gone, the world has changed
While she will probably save the world, she has also ripped the world as we know it apart

Is this an unforgiveable sin? She will have to bear the responsibility of her actions
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry……”
Apologies can be ceaseless, and this chain of apologies, were ainst oneself
A long tiotten the feeling of that black hair against her finger tips, the warmth of her love
Those who forget what it et their original objective, even if they keep going forward, even if they continue every step, they forget pain, and just keeps on walking Occasionally, they come across a familiar scene, but they do not remember what it is
If they do recall the scene, the pain is enough toforward, to carry on with your life, it is best to forget
She was no exception She forgot
The words they exchanged, the feeling of hiusts of wind from the wide open air
She no longer understood the responsibility she had for the people in the World below This soul born in inky blackness knew only to s in her way
As her limbs were bound, her soul clutched on to an idea, all that was left of her original consciousness, and she simply prayed “Save the people of the world” “Restore balance to the Universe”
“And let us ain—“
What she would say when they didelse, was soon forgotten
A green light flashed from time to time in this inky blackness, she curled up and writhed in pain, as her voice was drowned by the dark of the abyss
