Nyarly: It...can't be!? It's not possible! This contradiction...I won't accept it! Philemon (holding Jun): Crawling Chaos, accept your defeat... Nyarly: Philemon! P: They represent the potential of Mankind. You, the dark side of the collective unconsciousness, are linked to all humans. THAT is why...they moved the hearts of the people. Katsuya: All potential is born from chaos...I see...that's right... Nyarly: Hmph....Mwahahahaha! What irony! THIS is my FATE?! But remember this! The masses of idiocy that squirm in the center of the cosmos are yourselves! As long as you exist...so too shall I! Baofu: You're too damn stubborn...there's no such thing as a human without shadows...we'll make you remember that your place is here...just go to hell and be done with it. (Maya and Tatsuya shoot/stab Nyarly and he disappears) Ulala: It's over... Tatsuya: No...there's still one more thing. The fact remains that I'm the Paradox...if I stay here, then "This Side" will be engulfed by the "Other Side"... Baofu/Katsuya: .... Ulala/Maya: Tatsuya...you're not... Tatsuya: I'm going home... Maya: Take me with you! Thank you for everything... Tatsuya: We are connected by this ocean....we can...meet again...*smooches Maya real good, and Maya blushes* I'm sorry....Maya...*punches Maya in the gut, catches her as she falls* Brother........Ulala....Baofu....take care of Maya....and everyone. The only thing left on the Other Side is our city. We'll rebuild a great world... Katsuya: Tatsuya...you were planning to do that from the start... Tatsuya: I made a promise to Jun...he kept his word...now it's my turn. Baofu: Tatsuya...there's one thing I forgot to tell you. There ARE good things even when you become an adult...just a few... Tatsuya: Yeah...I know...(fires up his Persona, splits into a solid "This Side" Tatsuya and a ghostly "Other Side" Tatsuya) Katsuya: Tatsuya!!!! Ulala: Tatsuya! Tatsuya from the Other Side: ..... (disappears) ( a lot of quickly scrolling text about how the darkness has receded into the depths again, and so too has her love, far beyond her reach...but what he did lives on in everyone...or so I'd like to think...I want to see people with his fire inside of them...) (Maya's in her office, the CHief's calling, the cub reporter says he's going to ganbatte too, because he sees Maya work so hard. She pats him on the shoulder.) (Parabellum) Nate: Indeed....do they not know the meaning of being punctual? -_-### Ellen: *snicker* Don't worry, they'll be here. By the way, i read your dissertation on economics. It was brilliant. Nate: Hmph. Of course it was. But thanks to him, we can go on with our lives. Ellen: It is ironic, isn't it? His appearance is the same, but I can't believe he doesn't remember anything.... (more talk as Brad, Mary, Chris, and Yuki walk in. Does he really not remember anything? It's mysterious! Chris is engaged, says Mary. Chris mutters something about how her house had collapsed in the chaos and so...uh...they're going to name the kid Takahisa, I think. (Takahisa being 'Guido') ) (Araya Shrine) Eikichi: (ANGST T_T) Jun: What is the leader doing here? Eikichi: I don't know...but I felt that I left behind a very important memory here... Jun: Me too... Lisa: You guys too...somehow...I'm very sad. Eikichi: Yeah... Jun: I feel a great void in my heart... (Beach) Tatsuya: *stares at the waves, flicks his lighter* Katsuya: What do you want, calling me here? Tatsuya from This Side: ..... Katsuya: *takes out a ciggie, Tatsuya automatically lights it, and they stand for a while* That's rare. I think it's going to start raining. Tatsuya: My hand moved on its own. K: ... Tatsuya: .....hey, bro...is it hard...to become a detective? K: .... T: Won't Pops...get upset? K: :) Yeah, right.... :) All right, I'll teach you the ways of a detective. T: :) You started up smoking AGAIN... K: :) Yeah...with all that's happened. *They start to walk off* Listen up, a detective is... (scene with Maya and Tacchan at the crosswalk, he obviously doesn't recognize her, or even feel a flicker, but she sure does.)
