The purple haze over Gévaudan dissolves, revealing a sky washed clean. Vanitas's domain shatters, and Chloé breathes as a human again. Noé lies on the ground, his hand severed, Dante crouching beside him. The Chasseur airship lowers, its shadow cutting across the field. Astolfo, wild with rage and trauma, thrashes in Roland's grip until his strength gives out. The Paladin lifts the unconscious boy, his expression grim. Marco watches from a distance, fear etched on his face. In a scatter of petals, Chloé stands beside Vanitas amid the flowers. The dust settles. Then you step forward, you, into the fragile quiet.
