I stare at the door in front of me. I know what is behind the door. The part of me that changed when Aura gave me the Book of Twilight can feel it. The monster that attacked my best friend is behind that door. The bastard that put Yasuhiko in a coma.
This is the final battle. I know that in a few short minutes either the monster will be destroyed or my mind will be destroyed, my body left lying comatose on my bedroom floor.
I glance to either side of me at my companions. BlackRose stands to my left, Mistral to my right. They've been with me since the beginning, risking their own lives playing this game so that I could discover what had happened to Yasuhiko. They've been my constant companions, my only source of comfort in this nightmare, but then this isn't a nightmare is it. This is my reality.
I take a final glance at BlackRose. Perhaps if the situation was different we could have been more than friends. If I live through this then perhaps I'll try and find out.
If I live through this. The thought that I could die finally hits me and a shiver runs through my body. I must be cold. I cannot be afraid, but the thought won't leave me. I could die. Or worse I could live while my friends die. I close my mind to that line of thought. I don't want to have to imagine life without BlackRose or Mistral.
I force myself to focus on the door again. Then a thought crosses my mind. Spinning on my heel I dart forward and quickly hug each girl.
"Thank you for everything," I hear myself say. "I couldn't have done it without you."
The girls briefly look surprised at the hugs, then realization dawns on them and they hug me. They realize that this may be the last time they ever see me.
I force myself one last time to look at the door.
"This is it," I say. "This is the end."
And then I open the door.
