I had a dream. Or maybe it was a nightmare—because in that dream, I was happy.272Please respect copyright.PENANAzIv5FuDhKO
We were at an amusement park, watching our daughter laugh on the carousel. Every time she passed, we waved, our own laughter mixing with hers. We ate popcorn, cotton candy, ice cream… It was a perfect day.272Please respect copyright.PENANAFDsM0QBEFF
Then I woke up.272Please respect copyright.PENANAwqDAQ1mvEc
Still on this battlefield, littered with the corpses of the world’s strongest heroes. Smoke and ash choked the sky, blocking out the sun. The world was ending.
For seven years, we’ve fought the monsters that poured through the dimensional rift. But nothing—not the titans, not the demons, not the gods—compares to the thing hovering above me now.272Please respect copyright.PENANAhUpo5wEXpy
Thank God it was just a dream.272Please respect copyright.PENANAHHPcQfn3q3
Thank God they left seven years ago.272Please respect copyright.PENANAxF3y6dnjGz
Thank God they’ll never see this.272Please respect copyright.PENANAVjE7xmn0uJ
I’m glad… glad that, at this moment, I have nothing left to lose. How much more tragic would it be to stand here, powerless, trying to protect something—someone?272Please respect copyright.PENANAoyRQcKIMpY
Blood drips from what’s left of my arm. My bones grind against each other with every movement. Still, I will lift my sword one last time.272Please respect copyright.PENANAcW2F1Yw5Cw
"Come on, dragon! I’m still standing!"272Please respect copyright.PENANACyBlVgE15C
I’m glad you guys never had to exist in the same world as this monster.272Please respect copyright.PENANAYPYkYiKUSv
And as the beast roars and the final battle begins, I feel no fear.272Please respect copyright.PENANAF5R1BxIRKg
Only peace.272Please respect copyright.PENANA2N2CChHfet
I will see them soon, in a place this thing will never reach.272Please respect copyright.PENANAoaX4Xd7R7U
For me, this is a happy ending.272Please respect copyright.PENANA4IfyMRfuPU
