The year was 2027 according to my old watch.

I'd forgotten it was that year, I don't keep up like I used to.

Everyone's done well so far. Any signs of unnecessary resetting have disappeared. Any I see is just my imagination it seems.

I guess it's really true then. It's all really over. Monsters are free.

And so am I.

Not long after the Barrier was destroyed I was invited to see the world. I spent the night at home instead, a bit intimidated by the surface world's size. I eventually got out into it. And I found it was even bigger.

Chara, our "Ambassador to the Monster Kingdom", has really come through for monsterkind the past year. The humans freed up a part of their city for monsters to live in until we could settle our own little township. I hope that's soon, because, no offense to the humans, but, they're terrible city planners. It'll be nice to live far from the bustling city and live in a sparse town with some peace and quiet.

The more I think about this future, the more I'm glad we made it here. We're living under real starry skies, at peace with humans, and free from fear. Chara and the others were determined to see this through, just like we were.

I wonder if they could easily reset it all?

I hope they never do, or ever have too.

Things were really shaping up under the Dreemur rulership. Just about everyone was moved to the surface now and living either in the city, or off on the plot of land given monsters to build on. Though no official plans had been settled on the construction just yet, many monsters felt right at home in the woods as they were, under the shade of Ebott Mountain. The area was full of resources, and even had a river from a waterfall flowing through it.

The others had plans to move here when things got settled, making plans and designs for their future permanent homes and whatnot. I was content with what I had at the moment in the city, but was looking forward to moving out into the country.

I'll be star gazing off the side of Ebott Mountain every night I can.

Not long after a busy day of advising the Prince on things, I found myself at the entrance to the underground. I came here everyday just to prove to myself it was all over. There was something else pulling me back here as well, but I wasn't sure what. Nostalgia maybe? Or maybe an underlining fear of history repeating over itself again...

Sans always reminded me that that was a slim possibly. And I trusted him and my own knowledge on that.

Despite that though, I was always drawn back here. Today though was going to be the last. I can't keep walking up here like this at my age, heh.

But I won't leave without saying a final goodbye.

Mom, Dad...

Thank you… both of you...
