By ZERO Epilogue

            ZERO's sacrifice was great. Kite was able to move on like BlackRose said. Kite wasn't able to figure out the riddle. ZERO left with many unanswered questions. Kite was sure he held the answer to what the CC Corporation was doing. Kite didn't dare use the sword again. It held too much power and he couldn't bear to hold the blade without remembering the owner. Although ZERO left with many unanswered questions, he also left a great clue. If "The World" was, in fact, based on the Epitaph of Twilight, Kite already had something to start. This eased Kite that ZERO didn't leave without a purpose and maybe, just maybe, ZERO's memory would live forever.
