And missed.
JUNKO: ...I don't want to do it
I don't want to hurt you
I've done so many terrible things
But I don't wanna do anymore!
then she breaks down crying and everything was calmly silent as the sun rose above them clear from the clouds that blocked it, it felt like it's been years since it did such a thing and in these small sounds of weeping Makoto though in pain pulled Junko close to comfort them.
MAKOTO: it's ok, you're ok… it's going to be ok now...
JUNKO: And I'm not of this world. And not yet marked by this place here. Not pinned down in this apartment not divided into days and praying for my death — and bullied by this broken mind — and before all of this happened to me - and before the journey down here — to wake in the place I was born. And to be up there — and to feel the simple love of family. To be back there in that home — my sad past... rewritten now.
And so, Junko gently rests for a few minutes in Makoto's arms as he comforts her.
GP: Rj finally did it, they finally came around
SOULBOUND: and they know too.
GP: I knew this day would happen but I'm still so nervous
And so, after a while siramay nervously placed a hand on Makoto to slowly heal him though it was gradual.
SIRAMAY: hey Makoto you ok their buddy? Maybe some healing juice can help yah a bit.
MAKOTO: oh… thank you
SIRAMAY: hey Rj
JUNKO: ...g-Gabe?
SIRAMAY: uh kinda but also not really, I don't think I ever told you my name...
siramay places his hand gently in hers
Hi, I'm Siramay, Siramay Drakos. it's a long story but I'm your friend.
JUNKO: why? Why'd you do all this? I know what I did was wrong, but did you hate me that much?
SIRAMAY: he then pulls her close and hugs her.
No! I don't hate you! I'm so proud of you because you may have done terrible things, but you did one great thing, you finally came around and didn't let anything control you. And all on your own too! I may have magic but it was you and you alone who chose not to kill Makoto and move on and I'm so proud of you for that, I always hoped you'd come around I just wanted to make sure you were safe when it happened I'm so proud of you and I'm so sorry for hurting you!
So, they all walk out of there secret location… Junko is finally free as they see at the end of the hill a beach, and an ocean they feel the sea air gently hit their face wondering what to do next.
JUNKO: This isn't happening. I'm still inside this head.
SIRAMAY: No. it's happening.
A slight pause.
JUNKO: And pushed further from my madness — and trying to turn these old words into something new…
I'M DONE WITH THIS LIFE! — so a new universe I'll dream big up there. And although always stuck with this breaking mind — I've stepped off this Earth and into that better place…
With My new family…
MAKOTO: Right, our new family.
JUNKO: So, Siramay — what will happen next?
SIRAMAY: you tell me, go on, I like to hear you think.
[JUNKO]
I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day.
We can be heroes, just for one day…
[SIRAMAY]
And you, you can be mean…
[JUNKO]
And I, I'd drink all the time
[BOTH]
But we're free now, and that is a fact
Yes, we're free now, and that is that
[JUNKO]
I, I wish you could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim
Though nothing, nothing will keep us together.
We can beat them, forever and ever
Oh, we can be heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king!
And you, you will be queen
Where nothing, and nothing will help us
Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay
But we could be safer, just for one day
[ALL]
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes…
[JUNKO]
just for one day…
and with them all looking across the ocean, at that moment Junko finally let out a genuine, happy, smile.
