Blame It on the Rain

The survivors face Ivy in her citadel, standing before the Reforger itself. The final battle erupts, but victory does not come from strength or fire. Instead, Ivy’s own reforged husks turn against her, bound to her in ways she cannot escape. The weight of every soul she hollowed crashes down upon her, and she becomes what she created — a husk, stripped of her self. Cast away, she disappears into the abyss. Rain falls across both worlds, washing away blood and ash. Survivors stand silent, wondering if the apocalypse has truly ended, or if it has merely changed shape.
