Farewell

[over_under_being]

[1]
Everyone... I remember everything. It's over. We've won.

[Post-mission, Pilhua is destroyed. But so is the Over Being Father. And now there is a blue-ish aura around Texotic. Like a flame, tiny and barely visible at first but growing in time.]

There is something you need to know.
During their "games", Over Being met resistance. Rarely did their play go as smoothly as they hoped for. Their supposed prey fought - fought hard, tooth and nail. As we did just now.
The universe is full of humanity's brethren. Of heroes.

The threat of Over Being is over. What Teootl said is true. Just as Conetzin and Pilhua are creations of Over Being and cannot exist without them, so can Over Being not exist without Teootl.

This includes me. In a few hours, I too will be... gone...

Please do not cry for me. I...

[And she almost did it. Almost said it with composure and a calm face.

But no. Tears start to well in Texotic's eyes as she cries out.]

I will miss you all so much! I... I really wanted to stay with you for longer!

[Not immediately, but finally it happens.

Texotic lies down, and closes her eyes - peacefully. Her body is not reacting to anything, and for all counts and purposes is... dead. Good bye.

The blue flame leaves her body and takes into the sky. Halfway through its flight it joins with a yellow one that seems to appear out of nowhere. The two swirl around each other, and disappear. Together.]

[[Guido wasn't in the battle, but upon this series of statements, he accepts it and makes no effort to deny, or pity Texotic what's happening.]]

You went out of your was for a species of lesser being, at the cost of your own life.

Thank you for what you've done. [[She's dying a proud death, least he can show her is respect and gratitude. With a salute.]]

[over_under_being]

For all their grand standing, Over Being were never superior to others. Only now do I realize this.

So. This is good-bye.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

Understood.

[[He lowers his hand.]] Is there anything for you, beyond this? [[You know, is this 'the end', or does she get to return to whence she came.]]

[over_under_being]

Only... whatever comes after death. I don't know what it is.

But I know that whatever will happen to me, I will be in the same position Coztic is now.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

No more than anyone else does.


You've earned your rest then.

[over_under_being]

It comes too early. But...

[Nod.]

Whatever happens, I am not afraid.

[bulletwithgundamwings]

Good.


[[He turns to leave, and says, as he's walking away.]] If there's a way back, try and find it. Too many things aren't based on facts and numbers.

[over_under_being]

If there is one, I will find it.

It's a promise.
