THE FINAL â($kp∟G^Ä←âKò♦↑A¶{ê5↕FâMxX=

[foundationmods]

[The day dawns, one final time.

There's still silence, but there is a change in the world around them.

They know....if not everything, than enough.

They know his name.

The name of the one responsible for everything.

So, is it any wonder that they're all drawn, as if pushed, prodded, led.... to a door that now exists directly under the waterfall's stream?

It is a plain, white door, and yet....

Going in makes you feel as if there will be no turning back.]

[finalring]

Unfortunately, it was. But I was of a different mindset, back then. I was young. I was foolish.

[ he's staring down at him ]

But I never gazed into the Abyss like you did. I just received a drop of Wisdom, and that was enough to change my life forever. To you who has become one with it for so long... I do not know if there is any way for you to go back.

What do you think?

[Once it's translated:]

Is there really nothing left in the 'cave' for you? Our lives might be ruled by things we can't understand. We might be fish in a bowl if you think of it that way. But... there's still things to experience here. People worth knowing. Life worth living. There might even be ways to see what's Beyond without suffering and killing.

[He saw it in his own world, after all- even if that layer was also just 'fake']

No matter if we kill you or let you go, that's something only you can decide.

[foundationmods]

[He lifts his head, his hands a blur.]

[le_mat]

Would you even want to, if the option was there? A scientist like you?

...and I mean, we warned you that would happen, Gramps.

[dereban]

... I honestly don't know what you expected from those who are, supposedly, "pulling our strings".

[accessorytomurder]

...like I said before. How do you know it isn't strings all the way up? That they're controlled, by controllers who are also controlled... it's an old philosophical debate: if God creates everything, who created God?

[justonezero]

...Does that mean you saw our puppeteers?

[HEY GASKY TELL THEM!!]

[white_camellia]

[Oh, right, she got a message.]

Oh, your puppeteer said I should tell you they love you.

[justonezero]

-Eh?

[oceanicbutterfly]

Is it any surprise?

[justonezero]

I mean... Kind of?!

[He doesn't know what to do with this information! It's nice but also ?!?!???]

[accessorytomurder]

You spoke with them?!

[white_camellia]

It was a chat room, after all. I do not know if "Speaking" is quite the correct term to describe what happened...

Still, they gave me a variety of messages to give, most of which are along those lines. There was one for you as well.

"Tell Hitoka I love her" were their exact words, I believe.

[accessorytomurder]

...o-oh.

[It's a small, shuddering little sigh of a word, and she nearly tears up thE WAY I AM NOW.]

Good to, g-good to know.

[finalring]

They gave you messages?!

[white_camellia]

They gave me a variety. Let me try to put them all together for the moment...

"We want them to be happy, it's just taking a while to get there."
"Tell Sherlock I'm sorry about his murder."
"Tell Hitoka I love her."
"Tell Dazai if he makes my girl cry again I'll crush him."
"You guys are rocking it!" -- That one came from the one with your name.
"We're very excited and we want you all to win!"

I.. believe that was the rest of the ones not directed towards me.

[cw_suicide]

THE LAST TIME WASN'T MY FAULT!

[it's not his fault he was possessed and murdered and got massive trauma and therefore was extremely irrational!!]

[foundationmods]

[He looks at Yoshi.]

O-oh!

[dereban]

. . . "rooting for all of us"--

Well, that explains why they were hounding you.

[finalring]

That sounds rather unsurprising, considering...well...

[ o5-1. and the witches he knows. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

...people are the same everywhere, aren't they?

[finalring]

The cave is not as bad of a place as you may think, Gaster. There is a reason why not everyone can become a Witch or even god.

But perhaps if it's coming from myself, both a puppet and the person that hollowed out this mountain, it must sound quite hypocritical.

[white_camellia]

I would have to agree with Solomon-san here. That being said, perhaps my experience with having reached the top of the "mountain" was different from yours.
