There's always a lighthouse

[wheremst]

And just like that, you wake up in the basement of a lighthouse in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There's a circle of 25 pods in the middle of the room, and two more in a room off to the side, and you can imagine who is in which.

An elevator to the side of the room leads up to the ground floor (or to the first sub-basement, if you want to check out the machine that brought you here), where you can for the first time in weeks look out a window and see the sky. Its a beautiful sunny day, with a strong breeze on the grassy ground of the island where the lighthouse stands. Have you ever been this happy to hear seagulls?

You're free. Whatever comes next, you're free and you won. Take some time to relish your victory, won't you? Reunite with friends you thought you had lost, go forth and just... well, enjoy this.

For awhile, Lif and I had to figure things out on our own. I'm sure you can imagine how well that went.

[...in fairness, they did figure out how to play DDR all by themselves! But is that really an accomplishment.]

You still pulled your weight in that trial, so well done.

...Thanks. You know. Didn't much feel like dying in there. Got a lot of unfinished business waiting for me back home.
