This branch of the universe is closing its eyes.
What sustains it is no longer present.
The world around her is fading. Becoming insubstantial. She is also vanishing; the hourglass has turned, and there is little sand, for the universe no longer needs her to resolve a Braid that does not exist.
It is fine. She does not want to exist in her a world without her sister anyway. Her sister who taught what being a person is like - being a human - and who cared for her even if she was dumb and did not know human things like not eating out of garbage can. People before her sister called her dog or Gou or mongrel, which she was, but apparently it is not polite to call others canine names when they are a people.
After Chisato died, Levant became her dearest companion. It made sense because Levant was dear to Chisato too.
She is glad she waited and saved her sister, even if it led to this outcome.
As for Sato, she will be okay. Something like Time cannot erase her.
A star streaks through the sky despite the frozen time. The book dragon has left. They know this universe is marked for destruction. The karma is unraveling. They offered once to take her with them - to abandon this world. She did not take the offer. She will stay. Her home is here. This is the world Chisato loved.
She wonders what Chi will be like in the next life. Will she be like her? Or will she be more like a person? She hopes very much the next Chi will be like a person only because she knows the Chi will like that.
She would probably like to understand why people are people, just like her.
There is not much future left past this point, is there?
She does not need to maintain [ Last Word ] anymore, maintained since Chisato’s Husking.
< “Give this world the gift of Malkuth, of the physical.” >
She thought about leaving quietly, but she has been quiet all her life.
It would be a sadness if she could not even be loud in her last moments.
It would end the universe slightly faster, but it was doomed anyway. So it is okay.
So what should her last words be?
