This is it. I'm going to die now. For my wife and son, and the woman I never got to marry...
My eyes opened, slowly at first. I didn't understand—I'd killed myself. Rose and I had given our lives to save Dart and Shana, and their friends. So how was it that I could open my eyes? Only those who lived could open their eyes. So I closed them again.
"Zieg... Zieg, come on. Please sit up. You're home now."
Home? That voice...
"Zieg! Come on! We're waiting!"
Rose? Did you survive too, somehow?
"Zieg, please, wake up... I've been waiting for you for so long..."
A third voice. Familiar. So familiar.
"Zieg... Wake up Zieg... You're home now..."
Home... home...? Claire?!
I sat up, opening my eyes again. I was no place that I knew. And there, standing in front of me... Rose, Shirley, Claire! All of them! How was this possible?! Shirley had died in the Dragon Campaign, Claire was killed eighteen years ago! And Rose and I...
Rose and I...
We killed ourselves. All of us were dead.
And we were finally together.
