ENDGAME

[cascadingfailure]

Who: ALL FRIENDS
Where: Game Tower!
When: Day 133, Evening

[ And the game ends!

And you find yourself all in the tower, mangled or not. You'll find that you have a mixture of wounds from both rounds of the game, as well as all of your memories of both rounds. As for NafunAI...

Well, she seems to not be around anymore, but her voice (though a bit louder and more robotic) booms through the room, informing you of what's up: ]

THIS GAME'S WINNERS ARE:
BARiTONES, WILD CITY, avante en garde, Heart Soldier Senshi, and sensitIV!

THIS UNIT HAS ALSO TABULATED AUDIENCE VOTES. ULTIMATELY, LILIS WON FOR OUTSTANDING MORAL FIBER, AND A FLAWLESS GAME. TAISHO ALMOST SURPASSED THEM, BUT THE VOTES WERE NOT IN THEIR FAVOUR. THEY LOSE.

ALSO LILIS' EXAMPLE OF WORKERS BEING ABLE TO HAVE NICE LIVES HELPED FAN THE FLAMES OF THE WORKER'S REVOLT EVERYONE PARTLY DIED IN LATER. PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS COOL! SUPER, SUPER, SUPER COOL!

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING! ⭐

[ Yaaay! ]

Shrike-san...

[She closes her eyes, but it doesn't seem to stop the tears.]

Thank you...!

[softlyfalling]

It’s no problem at all, [ her voice falters a little— ] really.

[wonderlandgirl]

I'm glad.

[She tries to brush her fingers against Shrike's knee.]

Your unit's... okay, this time?

[softlyfalling]

We're okay. I think everyone had a rough time, but—we're all... going to be okay.

[ which is a bit of an overstatement, but it's a lot easier to say. ]

Thank you.

[wonderlandgirl]

Shrike-san, I - I think it was supposed to be bad for all of us. I'm sure you all did your best.

[softlyfalling]

We tried, anyway.

I suppose I can at least be glad that we don't live in that world all the time.
