John wants to knock Austin off, but with the claws wrapped around his neck, decides against it. He taps the mat with the back of his hand, signalling for Austin to get off. He rubs his neck once he's freed and says, "Well done. We'll spar for longer another day, but this was a good start. See ya." He walks to his dorm, leaving Austin behind. The sun sets and rises, ushering in a new day.
