FINALE

[foundationmods]

[And finally, after everything...it's over.

Everything is back to how it should be, once you exit out of the door behind the Waterfall. There are so many Monsters around, all of them excited and running around. Some are wondering what happened - some are just overwhelmed.

But, regardless....they're alive. They're here, after so much time. All of Monsterkind, back where they should be.

And everyone who you've lost...

They're back. They're back.

You have overcome so much. You have suffered through so much, and seen to the other side.

But now, for the first time in a long, long time...

...The Future is truly the brightest it's ever been.

No more pain. Only....forward, into wherever you go from here.

Though there is still so much to fix....there is still, as always...

Hope, and Dreams.

Hold onto those...

....And there's nothing you can't accomplish.]


SCP: THE FOUNDATION

THE END.

If you don't mind.

Although it's a long story, so maybe we should talk at the inn?

[justonezero]

Okay!

[To the inn?]

[dereban]

[To the inn!]

[justonezero]

[To room one again?]

[dereban]

[To room one again.

She'll flop onto the bed, sitting proper once she does.]

... Man, where do I even start?

Well - I guess I should start by saying... if we all get the chance to go home, and keep our memories, I'm taking it. But nobody's allowed to visit my world for two years.

That's because there's things in my world that I have to deal with first, and I don't want anyone else to be hurt because of it. Which is related, I suppose, with everything about my world.

[justonezero]

[...Oh.

But...]

Just two years though, right? So... you're looking into a way to travel between worlds?

[dereban]

Yeah.

Everything should be resolved by then. I don't know if Atsushi would want to go home, and I don't think he'd want to come home with me even after everything is resolved... not to mention he'd have no place to stay. I can't just hide him in my room the whole time.

I know what's coming up for my world, so I can at least predict what will happen.

[She puts her hands on her lap, looking rather thoughtful.]

Back home, I'm going to be experimented on by an omniscient being - because it wants to... understand humanity. There's a point in time where it asks me if "humans have achieved their ideal form", or some crap like that.

Gaster... kind of reminded me of it; even if he was more sympathetic.

[justonezero]

Oh.

[What a mess to return to.]

...But it turns out okay in the end, right? You get a happy ending.

[dereban]

. . . Yeah.

[Her voice is quiet as she says that lone, singular word. There's a lot of reasons she has to go home. That's just the tip of the iceberg.]

And I do. But - knowing too much hurts. I want to keep things the same, so that I can reach the happy ending that's written, yet...

[She's already too different from the Inaba Himeko written in those pages.]

[justonezero]

...You pretty much have to act like you don't know anything at all.

[Yeah, that sounds rough.]
