Epilogue (FINAL)

"............"

"...I've been waiting for you, Sebastian."

…! That voice! Is it you, Liam?

“Yep! It’s me! I’ve waited so long to see you again. But if you’re here, then…That means you’ve died, too?” 

I have. And did you truly wait all this time for me to arrive?

“I sure did! I was told to stay put here until I met up with you--” 

Liam...I’m so sorry...

“Huh? What are you sorry for?”

For everything. If I hadn’t turned you, maybe you still could’ve lived a normal life. You’d still be alive.

“Oh, don’t be like that. I was the one that asked you to do that. And, if you hadn’t had such a big part in my life, I’d have snapped a lot earlier than I did."

"I don’t blame you in the least anymore. If anything, it’s all my fault anyway. I’m the one that killed all those people! And I wish I could undo everything I did, and, and-” 

“…Sebastian? Do you think they’ll ever forgive me for what I did to them?” 

I don’t know. Likely they’ll either regard you with fear, or heap scorn upon you, just like they did in life. 

“…I’m still going to Hell, aren’t I?” 

 I’m afraid so. But...

You don’t have to go alone. If you're entering Hell, then…I have to go with you, no questions asked. 

“You…you’d do that for me, Sebastian?”

Of course. Even if I somehow ended up in Heaven, or Purgatory, or even reincarnated or resurrected…

All of it would be Hell, if you aren’t there. 

I can’t stand to be anywhere without you. So let’s face Hell...together.

“I-In that case…"

Let’s go.
