However, victory brought no relief to them. Clyde stood over the corpse of the Lunar Beast, his spear hanging loosely at his side.
Mina wiped blood from her face and steadied her breathing. Neither of them smiled or spoke.
The silence suddenly felt heavier than the battle itself right now.
They had won, but the people they had fought to protect were gone. Companions who had trusted them. People who had followed Clyde's lead since the beginning. The weight of that failure pressed down on his chest until it hurt to breathe.
Clyde felt hollow. He had moved fast and fought hard. And still, it hadn't been enough.
Then the air changed.
A sharp, artificial chime echoed through the ruined city, loud enough to carry across the broken streets. Translucent text flared into existence above the skyline, visible no matter where one stood.
[Congratulations to player Jack Anderson and player Mina Johnson for killing the Lunar Beast.]
[The scenario has ended.]
