Haru exited the final portal... but he did not wake up. He wasn't in a hospital, nor the purple world. He was in a white void: white ground, white sky. No sound but his footsteps.
Haru stopped. Figures began to form before him. First was Joceka, as he had always known him. Then Narka. Then the other Joceka—the one who had lost his memory. They all stood before him.
"Are you... still here?" Haru asked, his voice trembling.
Joceka stepped forward.
Joceka: "Unfortunately... to truly leave, you must face us".
Haru's eyes widened. "Face you?!".
The strange voice appeared for the last time, its tone calmer and more sincere.
The Voice: "This is the final stage. The characters created by the Syndrome do not disappear unless you acknowledge them... and then let them go".
Haru shook his head violently. "Impossible".
