A/N: And a Zootopian epilogue too.
Epilogue: Alone in the darkness
Dear Diary,
A lot has happened in these past six months. Throughout all this craziness. Nick has stayed by my side giving me comfort and support in these dark times. We've even mated a few times. Zootopia is more united now than ever before. The future has become rather bleak in these past few months. The exploration team we've sent out six months ago, hasn't reported at all. There's been no news of them. Not a single animal has returned.
Crime rate has plummeted significantly, that's good news, right? Everyone, now has a common focus, the desire to know what lies beyond Zootopia. Why did our ancestors lose interest? Two months after the initial team failed to report. There were enough public volunteers for a second team.
The second team too, never returned. Brief paranoia has set in. The thought that we aren't alone in the world. This started because of a search for Avery, and a question I've dared to ask. Avery, has still not been found, there's been no trace of her. The only source of information is that TV channel still. We've seen Avery compete other events to varying degrees of success.
Avery, my sister, the one animal that I was unable to find. I'm still trying to move on. Nick has been here supporting me every step of the way. It was because of Avery, that Nick ended up living with me. She was also the reason Zootopia became united. One day, I will go outside of Zootopia myself and find her.
Zootopia has changed too. There's a need for an army now. It turns out from historical record, it's been a really long time since we've had one. Zootopia stands united, with a singular purpose of exploring what lies beyond. An army has been created to protect us. A lot of animals were interested in joining the army. The formation of the army was enough to eradicate most of the racism in Zootopia. It was a symbol of unity between multiple species that live here, a symbol that they could work together, to be part of something greater.
We still know nothing of what lies beyond. Nothing has so far come forth to disturb us. Animals are afraid to venture out of the borders now. All, because I've dared to ask: what lies beyond Zootopia? Is it a good thing that I did? Should I have stopped searching for Avery and prevented this sense of dread? The result wasn't the one I expected or wanted at all. Zootopia has become, what I would call: A shining utopia alone in the darkness.
