OUT2 Endgame Epilogue
Epilogue for Channing below the cut
Kotone Okinawa died when she was pushed through the portal.
Ever since that day, no one spoke of Kotone, and the person that would have been her never spoke to anyone either. In her place, Channing Burke remained, peppered by questions of the terrorist attack on Hope’s Peak Academy and the supposed portal leading to the Marchen universe. Channing had nothing to say to this. She neither confirmed nor denied her classmates allegations that they had been taken to another world, nor the fact that the remaining students were dead. Eventually, Hope’s Peak and the press decided they would get nothing from her and let her be.
Bennett Jones began a series of blog posts calling attention to Hope’s Peak’s scandals and calling the world to action. Channing continued to support her partner with all the love in the world, and it appeared that someone was helping Bennett obtain information and form new crackpot theories.
Channing’s latest movie for Syfy was scraped due to production issues developed by Channing’s absence. Though Channing was only commissioned to write three scripts, she contacted her director months after the incident with Hope’s Peak about another script she had written and he bought it. The film Fungicide: Backwoods Terror released on Syfy to Channing’s biggest audience yet. The film was as cheesy as every other movie she made, and it was panned by critics for ripping off the idea of fungus zombies from the Last of Us. Channing denied this, saying her inspiration came from elsewhere.
What made this movie so strong, however, was the heroine of the movie. While she started off as an alpha b**** destined to take off her shirt and die, she proved herself to be an outstandingly strong character who managed to grow as a person and overcome the monsters to become the movie’s final girl. Her name was Lily.
Not long after the release of Channing’s movie, a new book hit the shelves of Japan. Written by a mysterious Hitomi Cho, the book detailed the psychological romance developed between a threesome of a ninja, a cyborg, and a let’s player. It wasn’t massively received, but the writing style and characters were praised.
Channing never really kept up with any of the survivors aside from being in their presence during their stay at Hope’s Peak. She initially held herself responsible for the events, including the fates of Daisy and Elijah, but with Bennett’s help, she overcome those feelings. Bennett and Channing remained inseparable to the point of becoming married and having a daughter they lovingly named Daisy.
And then, the most Despair Inducing Event happened...
