` Ending Star No Save
I will use a part of the Absent Ending for this ending. You'll see why. Remember, this ending is not specific to a route.
Brendan proceeds to go after May and Riba. On the way he encounters a strange piece of paper. "I wonder what this is for? Maybe I should find the other piece." Brendan looks around for the other piece. He finds it in a bush. The two pieces combine and glow. "The pieces are glowing. What is this thing?" Brendan questioned.
"It's a spirit dispel charm. It rids a person of possession. To use it you burn it in front of a possessed person." Alice explained. "Don't think you can use it on yourself. I'll make sure to kill you if you do." Alice threatened. Then Brendan realized something.
"So... I can use this to save May!" Brendan suggested.
"If Riba's hold on May is weak... Then yes. There's a chance the charm might fail and I will have no choice but to kill you." Alice said pessimistically.
"You really want to make this as difficult as possible, don't you? Well... I'll risk it. If it's to save May then... Here we go." Brendan takes the charm and then proceeds to the church. He goes inside and then to the main floor where he is greeted by Riba and May.
"May!" Brendan called. No response.
"So, you came after all." Riba said.
"Of course I did! I don't trust you being near my sister!" Brendan exclaimed. Riba put on a smug smile.
"Do you think she trusts you?" Riba asked cunningly. He looks at May. "I feel bad for her. She trusted you until you stabbed her and left her to die." Riba said with a fake sympathy for May.
"Ah..." Brendan breathed heavily. May was unresponsive.
"Don't worry I didn't hurt her. Want her back? Go ahead, I'm not stopping you." Riba said with a psychotic expression. Brendan tried to approach them but a mysterious force pushed him back.
"Ah!" Brendan grunted. "Why are you doing this Riba?! Why?! Our lives have nothing to do with this place!"
"Shut up! I could care less about both of your pathetic lives!" Riba yelled hatefully. "Oh Alice... Out of anyone to choose for a host, you choose the reincarnate of Breynald. Such a shame. You can't even control that body. You're completely weak and useless to become a powerful entity."
"(He's completely lost it.)" Brendan thought.
"Breynald... I almost forgot about him. The best memory I have of him is when I executed him." Riba said in a twisted manner. "Breynald... hearing that name makes me happy... it fills me with such joy!" Riba chuckled with a sickening happiness filling him. "I can't wait to kill you again. I want to hear you scream and cry just like he did. What better way then to use your own sister?" Riba turned to May. "Get up you worthless scum!" Riba said angrily. May goes to attack Brendan. Brendan pulls out the dispel charm.
"(The dispel charm! I can break Riba's influence with this!)" Brendan pulls out a match and lights up the charm. "(Please work!)" The dispel charm burned. Now May's eyes have returned to normal and she is holding her hand to her head.
"Urgh... Brendan? What's going on? What happened?" May asked Brendan as she is not able to recall any of the events that occurred. Brendan's face lit up with a smile.
"May you're okay! It worked! I just want to say I'm so-" ...Brendan was not able to finish his sentence. "(My one moment of joy... the one chance I had to save May... In an instant it was all taken away from me.)" Brendan thought sadly. May's life was ended.
"Ack... Urgh..." May spluttered and choked as blood poured out of her head. Brendan wanted to scream... But no words were able to escape his lips. It's as if his whole world had just crushed.
"You're useless to me now." Riba said coldly. Brendan was still silent. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That face of pure agony! The same face Breynald made! It's marvelous!"
"..." Brendan was crying hysterically.
"Aw how precious. You're crying. Don't worry you're next. But first let's make this a fun dance, shall we?" Everything lights on fire. Riba advances on Brendan. Brendan takes a step back.
"(There has to be something I can do! Oh the chandelier! I can break the chains!)" Brendan proceeds to pull the switches. Riba attempts to stab him in the head. Brendan dodges and kicks him away. "Get away!" Brendan screamed. Brendan pulls more switches. Riba stabs him in the shoulder. Brendan pushes him away again. Brendan pulls the last switch. The chandelier is shaking. Riba advances on Brendan.
"Come here." Riba laughed.
"..." Brendan watched as the chandelier fell.
"Huh? AAAAAAAAH!" Riba screamed.
"...It's over." Brendan says relieved. "...Looks like Riba won't chase after me anymore." Brendan stares at the corpse in front of him. "...I don't feel sorry for you. You garbage. I can't believe I once called you my friend. I hope you rot here." Brendan cursed. The building begins collapsing. "I have to get out of here! This place is collapsing!" Brendan turns to look at May's lifeless body once more. Tears welled up on his eyes once again. Brendan finds an exit and goes through the passage. On the other side, he feels a fresh breeze.
"Brendan?" A voice called.
"Am I... Dreaming? What happened?" Brendan slowly starts to open his eyes.
"Oh, he's waking up! Brendan!" Another voice said.
"Urgh my head." Brendan said fully opening his eyes.
"He's opened his eyes!" Dawn said with relief.
"Bro are you okay?" May asked. Brendan was shocked.
"! May you're alive!" Brendan pulls May into a hug.
"Whoa Brendan! You shouldn't be moving!"
"I thought I lost you! I'm so glad you're still here!" Brendan said with happiness and relief. May looked confused.
"Brendan what are you talking about? You really shouldn't be pushing yourself like this." May said worryingly.
"Please Brendan. Try not to move so much." Dawn advised.
"Dawn is alive too... I'm so happy." Brendan said with a smile.
"You had a really nasty accident while we were go-karting." May explained.
"How long was I out?"
"A day. Though you did hit your head pretty hard. So I stayed with you to make sure you were going to be ok."
"Oh Brendan don't do something so reckless again! It scared everyone!" Said Dawn who was worried about Brendan.
"I won't." Brendan promised.
"Finding you was really difficult. A cat kept meowing loudly at the crash site. If not for that we probably wouldn't have been able to find you." May said.
"A cat...?" Brendan asked.
"Yeah. The one we saw had some strange coloured eyes."
"..." Brendan looked at the window and saw the Black cat. "(The black cat?)"
"Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you. Your refusal to save means that you do not need me anymore. So you're free. Your life has returned to what it used to be. In other words... I don't need you." Said the black cat who now jumped away from Brendan's window.
