Lol I just finished DTL...why I find such game so late
This ending really made me cry and made me write this. Turn your speakers on and go on Google, read with music on! I'm not a native speaker so please tell me about wrong grammar and typos. I don't know the hero's official name so I named him. He looks like character featured on box art.

"Please answer me Creator... Mari tells me nothing. Why we have to die? Please! Save them and take my life away instead! They're innocent...This is so ridiculous!" Little boy shouted at the sky, like someone was there to listen to him. "Please...Creator, please save them. I was made to save them! You made me to save them! I lived to save them..."
Nice to meet you, Ayres.
"Creator? Please tell me what I have to! Is there's something wrong with the Book of Life? Bakibeard? The council? Tell me, Creator! What's wrong? I can fix it!" The boy's voice was trembling. Trembling as he was about to cry.
You can do nothing.
"What? Creator, you can't say that! With you, anything was possible! Me and my friends saved Mayor Rose, helped Key and Moe, also helped Click and... Defeated Wilfre..." Creation hero dropped his head when he said the name "Wilfre". "I still don't understand why I had to kill him...I feel like murderer..."
Wilfre is a murderer, not you.
"But I don't know why he did all of those too! He said we'll die if we restore color. Is that true? Is that the reason they are telling me nothing? Then why did I have done all those work? Why? Creator... Please! Tell me!"
Creator sighed.
You're so curious. Like Wilfre was. He died of curiosity.
The creation hero was shocked. Died of curiosity? Is that possible? "Creator... If we're going to die, please... Tell me."
Creator sighed again. Then come to creation hall. I will tell you everything. But you should not tell a single Raposa about it.
Creation hero Ayres walked into the creation hall. It was cold inside. "Mari said I must come back by twelve…"
Now, Ayres. What can you see?
"I see…books…and a mannequin."
It was you. You defeated Wilfre two times, and also saved Raposa two times.
"What? But...But I'm here! This cannot be me!"
You were first created to save the village from darkness. After everything was done, you went to sleep. I had to stop this world when you went to sleep…But Wilfre came back. You would not understand until I'll show you the truth.
Then the world went spinning.
Ayres felt his body floating. There was men and women dressed like Dr. Cure and officer Cricket with small ears… Like me and Mike, he thought. Then he saw young girl and a boy. Girl was quite pretty, but her left face was covered in bandages. The boy was…It was Mike. But he looked younger.
"So…what was that mean, Creator?" He asked when he came back to creation hall. "Why are you showing me Mike and those odd looking Raposa? Mike is now in our village with Mari. So was he Mike's brother?"
No, he was Mike. All of you are Mike's imagination. You live in his dream. He is in coma.
Now Creator's voice was trembling to. You don't exist, Ayres.
Creation hero fell to his knees. "This...this can't be. Creator, please tell me you're joking. Please... I'm here! I am alive..." He shook his head. Tears ran out from his eyes. "No...Please, Creator. Make them live. You're their only hope! Then why did you created us!" Nobody ever saw the creation hero crying.
I didn't create you. Mike did. Now, he must wake up. Heather is waiting.
"Heather? But...she's...one of us!"
The girl next to Mike was Heather. She's Mike's sister. Heather in your village is also Mike's imagination.
Ayres was stunned. "I don't want to die. Nobody will... So Wilfre died because he knew the truth? That's the reason that I had to kill him? He only tried to avoid death! That's so unfair... But poor Mike..."
You still have heart to think about Mike. Wilfre didn't. So I had to stop him. Mari and Jowee knew that, too. They didn't tell you anything because you are as powerful as Wilfre. You may do the same thing.
Ayres keep on crying. He cannot say anything. Everyone was so innocent. "Is there any way that everyone's safe?"
No.
Now Creator made hero cry bitterly. "This is so cruel... It's a real murder."
I didn't want you to cry.
"What? But..."
You are my son, Ayres. I don't like this kind of farewell, too. They are all my kids. Also you are the hero. You are my best, beloved child. I remember when I drawed you first time. The colors. Your voice. Everything. Creation hero stopped crying, but still tears running down. "I know. I don't like this too... But it is the truth." Then he looked out the window. He chuckled a bit.
"You must stop crying, too."
I am not crying.
"Creator, you can't lie. It's raining Bakies and moles." The rain was pouring. It was blue. Ayres hugged the mannequin. "Mike said it's raining 'cats and dogs'... I wonder who they are." Then he smiled again. Now the tears dried up.
"Now I understand. Every story must end at the last page. But the story never fades. I'm not scared that much now. So please don't cry, mother..."
Creator said nothing.
"Mari can convince others. She can soothe them too. Sometimes Raposa are braver than me." Ayres smiled, and stood up. "I'm ready, see you later!" The rain was now yellow and pink. How beautiful, Ayres thought.
You can meet all your friends in heaven... Mike will never forget you. You are his hero.
"I hope I can see everybody there... Good bye!"
See you, my son.
