The air in Ponyville hangs thick with grief, the usual sounds of laughter replaced by the soft rustle of wind through memorial ribbons tied to every lamppost. A single scarf, frayed and familiar, flutters on a breeze before settling at Twilight Sparkle's hooves. She stares at it, her eyes red-rimmed, as the Mane 6 stand in a hollow circle, their shadows long in the fading light. You gave everything—your power, your life—to shatter the villain that threatened them all. Now, as an angel watching over this village, you see them mourn. But Twilight looks up, directly at you, as if sensing your presence. "you?" she whispers into the silence, a question hanging in the air.
