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.

Hitoka Yachi.

[To anyone who doesn't know Ango, he sounds very professional. But Yachi would immediately recognize that as Ango's "I have been up for 36 hours and have zero patience now" voice.]

[accessorytomurder]

A-Ango-san!

[...m-maybe if she drowns him in sincere affection, he'll be less mad?]

We missed you.

[notbymyside]

I certainly hope you three did. It was a mistake to send you all in without me. One death, one killer, one left to pick up the pieces...you three really can't hold it together without me, can you?

[It's a funny way to say "I was worried about you", but. Well. It's Ango. He can't just say his feelings out loud.]

[accessorytomurder]

Yes.

[She presses a hand to her chest.]

We really missed you. ...u-um.

[She coughs, delicately.]

Um, how much, how much did you... did you uh, watch...?

[notbymyside]

As much as I could.

[...]

I did stop watching for a bit, after Wei Ying.

[accessorytomurder]

O-Of course. Did, um... I...

[She wrings her fingers a little.]

W-We uh, we never... talked about, um... I-I mean, un.

[notbymyside]

We never talked about a lot of things, no.

Fortunately, you all made it back alive, so we can discuss these things still.

[accessorytomurder]

..r-right. Right.

[She takes a deep breath and squares her shoulders, before looking up again.]

I! I want you to date us!

[notbymyside]

...all of you?

[What is his life that he has to clarify 'all' here?]

Does Dazai-kun know you're asking?

[accessorytomurder]

All of us.

[She's not sure how she ended up here either.]

He knows I want to. And Xian-kun does too.

[notbymyside]

Well I would hope Wei Ying, at least, knows.

[Since they were dating before this.]

[accessorytomurder]

Yes. So.

[She's trying not to look like a nervous wreck but. Um.

He's kind of leaving her in suspense here??]

[notbymyside]

[Maybe he'll leave her hanging longer- ok no that's mean.]

I am already dating Wei Ying. If Dazai-kun wants to date me, he will need to ask me.

...but yes. I will date you, Yachi.

[accessorytomurder]

...Osamu isn't any better at direct expressions of sincere emotions than you are, Ango-san.

[But she does look particularly pleased.]

Really? I'm... i-it's okay, even though it's me?

[notbymyside]

Yes.

[And there is a pause, as he decides to approach a particular elephant in the room.]

I don't...normally keep the company of women. You would be the first for me, actually.

[accessorytomurder]

O-Oh. Um...!

[She wrings her hands again.]

I-I, um... I! Went over this with Xian-kun, but... um, I'm... if, if it's just men you want that's—I-I'm not... like... I'm not a necessity, if you just want them. That's. I mean. I-It's okay, if you don't...

[notbymyside]

Yachi.

[He can see how nervous she's getting, and he doesn't want that.]

I do like men. But I like you too.

[accessorytomurder]

...oh.

[Her voice is very small. Her face is very red.

But she doesn't look like she doubts him, and her feathers slowly unruffle.]

I-I'm glad. I like you too.

[notbymyside]

[When he hears that, he smiles a small smile. But that smile quickly becomes a little embarrassed as he glances away.]

Please be patient with me, I'm new at this.

[Dating girls, he means.]

[accessorytomurder]

I coaxed Osamu Dazai into a healthy, committed relationship. I'll be as gentle and steady as you need, A-Ango. I promise.

[W... was that too sudden of a jump in closeness?]

[notbymyside]

[Not at all, and he actually relaxes into a smile.]

Well, if you could pull that off then I suppose you are the most patient of the four of us. We should do fine.

[accessorytomurder]

[ She thought he might like the slightly shadier side of her that Dazai always melted over.]

Then, I’ll be in your care. Let’s treat each other well.

[She pauses.]

Since they prefer being bullied, after all.
