"You misunderstand. This ending wasn't caused by Genocide. Back then, he didn't exist." The scene seems to shift, as the Bug, lying on the floor, starts to wake up, groaning in pain from the many wounds he had taken. Then, walking through the floating rubble and cloaked in an aura of Soular energy, Mia approaches. Time seems to slow down, as incomprehensible words are exchanged. "No, this ending already happened, there's no changing it. Instead, use this knowledge to stop Genocide." Tears fall to the ground, as Mia drops to her knees. The Bug on the ground seems to attempt to comfort her - a strange sight at best. However, Mia then brings up a gun, as she shoots him in the head. The bullet resounds loudly, as the Bug on the ground twitches, then drops to the ground, his soul already starting to dissipate as Mia hugs his body, shaking and sobbing. "I'm nothing but a figment of your imagination. This, though? This is real. Remember this. You're the one who started this whole mess in the first place, so you get to clean it up." Suddenly, your attention is drawn away from the spectacle. Upwards, towards the ruined world far above. It looked like a planet at first, but now it's clear that it isn't. Instead, it resembles a massive space station more, similar in design to Ygdrassil, Matt's Magnus Opus. It seems familiar somehow, the hundreds of wards he can feel emanating from it, the system of technological and magical limiters layered on top of one another. A type of power that seems intrinsic to the universe, the very elements of creation...... On the floor lies a small girl's head, with long blonde hair and green eyes. It's like a copy of Angel's, and yet subtly different. And suddenly, a name pops into Bug's head. 'Hope'. The world dissolves around him, even as his mind races to catch up with his instincts. To realize what was going on. To piece together these clues, teasing the edge of recognition. A last couple of words slip through the veil of fading light, a farewell and advice. "Your friend is stuck in his own memories - not his, but those he doesn't know yet. Only when he realizes where he is, can you return to reality, and reach your destination." Then, with a start, Bug opens his eyes. Rain hits the floor, as Gabriel and Mithias face off. And yet, to Bug, it's clear. Because where Gabriel stands, is instead an image of Mithias himself, two faces of the same being. Mithias was facing off with himself, although he didn't quite know it yet. This entire place seemed to have been formed from Mithias' own mind.
