Life has changed ever so much and the world has slowly started to heal for the better, although we have no one to rule or guide over us. Time has not left us unchanged and some of us have gone. To be honest, I feel so alone in this apartment, with everyone either passed on or moved on with their own lives. I haven't too much a life of my own, really, and I don't think I ever will. I suppose I would be content for that, since illness and madness hasn't given me much of a life. I also hadn't much to look forward to but I can no longer look behind.

As time had passed, it feels so bittersweet and it seemed like only yesterday that our misfortunes and fortunes began and now they cycle back around. Ran's children have grown and move on, some even getting married and others having children. Cirno and Mushrooms went back to live in the forest, taking Tadpole with them. Youmu did learn how to use comprehensive speech to some degree, although she still and mostly says, "muh". Kaguya has been travelling on and off, going wherever to build hospitals and teach the art of medicine, and Huzi stopped shooting herself in the face and sometimes takes the time out to teach whatever she knows. Remilia runs an orphanage and Flandre still smokes. Kosuzu is long gone and only Miko, Tenshi, and Kisume remain. Like Alice, Marisa grew up and has gone to pursue her own ambitions, leading a more nomadic existence and taking the time out to make records. Suika remained Suika, although, she does help run an orphanage, and Chen hasn't at all changed, yet, like the others, she did move on. Renko did regain some more of her memories and Maribel looks after Apartment Gensokyo, like Yukari-Mommie once did.

Yukari never did return and, sometimes, I wonder where she's gone or whether or not she's still alive. Perhaps, she isn't, although I know I'd never see her again anyway, as she doesn't want to be found. Currently, Ran, having grown old, is on her last legs, yet she still persists. It hurts, as she doesn't want to let go just yet. Her time is borrowed, she knows, yet she wants a new purpose, even though I've reassured her I am fine and, while Ren still waits, she is free to rejoin him.

My misfortunes never end and neither do they change, as others do with the sands of time.

Interesting.

Is that it then, Reimu, is it?"

"Yes, I think it probably is. That's the end, Yukari-Mama."
