[paterelohim]

I have an... announcement to make. An invitation.

[He raises his eyes to the screen, looking sadder than he ever has, but... different. The little man who once curled pathetically in a wheelchair is sitting up straighter, squaring his shoulders, looking less jittery and more settled than he ever has.

Stronger.]

I'm going home. Back to my world. I'm going back to clean up my own mess. It's my world, and I can't let it devolve into chaos like this, and now that people can leave- this might be the only chance I ever get, to fix it, to stand up and say I am who I am and take some responsibility.

I'm leaving in two days. Anyone who wants to come with me- I'll take you with me. It'll be okay. I mean, hey, when God's literally your co-pilot- how dangerous can it be, right?

[He sits forward, more serious.]

Anybody who can't go home- you can come. My world's actually really nice and normal if you stay out of the action. 99.9% of people there live normal lives, y'know? If that's what you want, I'll guarantee it- I mean, as in an act of God. You'll be okay. Some people need a safe haven.

On the other hand, if safety isn't your thing, then uh, I have great news. [A weak little not-even-a-chuckle.] We'll need help.

Anyway, that- that's all. And it's been great. I'm so happy I came here. It was kind of the worst few years of my life, but... I changed more in two years than I did in thousands. Everyone here, everyone I ever met or, or drank with or fought with- helped. This place made me a better man and God and...

Thank you, all- all of you. [Getting a little choked up rn omg.] I'll miss you all. And if I've ever met you or spent more than five minutes with you, just- just know.. you're loved, okay? [It's a deep truth, the kind He's been too human to say for a long, long time.] Stay safe. Live long and- stuff.

Final Feather [Video]

[andproper]

 Isn't there any way to save the island? ]Prim's voice is wobbling a bit as she speaks. Her voice trembles. She forces herself to look at the screen, though. She wants everyone to see the pleading look in her eyes.]

It's our home. Weren't we all happy here? Even if it was odd sometimes... it brought us all together, didn't it? It gave us new lives. ...It saved my life.

There was an explosion, back home. There was fire and lots of noise; and I think I would have died. But I ended up over here, instead...

[She trembles, then, her entire body shaking. She's been holding this back so long - for what? What's the point anymore?] If I go home, I'll die. They want me dead. Because they want to hurt my sister. They want to make her suffer so that she won't resist.

...There has to be another way; if we can band together, maybe we can stop it. Fix the core. It must have given us powers for a reason. Don't you think? Maybe it was to save this place. To thank it, for saving us.

For giving us time with each other...

I don't want to go.

[ Once again, every network device and phone will crackle to life. A voice speaks, and despite the collapse of the city, there is energy and power behind it yet.

It's Ghost Writer, and he has one final message for the city of Siren's Port. ]

The time is now upon us.

Stake your claim upon this city or leave it as you choose. By this time tomorrow evening, the Core shall end its reign, and this island will sink to the bottom of the sea.

Dare to venture into the unknown -- to spread your wings and take flight into a new world.

Perhaps we shall meet again.

[ Static comes across the feed before it finally goes off. ]

[ Aslan stands on the site where the baseball diamond once stood. The Darkness has already descended, and in the night, he appears to be a beacon, shining for a light a hope.

His expression is grave. ]

I will be returning to Narnia at dawn.

To those who wish to accompany me or require guidance through the In-Between Places of the World, I will assist you as I am able.

For those who remain- take heart in the days that lie ahead. Light will ever shine, even in the deepest darkness.

My thoughts shall not be far from your cause.
