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.

Wait, excuse me?! Where did you get that from?

You should've gotten rid of your records before the trial if you didn't want anyone seeing them.

Are you going back?

If I'd thought I was going to lose, I'd have left letters.

[Anna folds her arms and turns away. At least she isn't trying to punch her this time.]

Not now. I wanted to, of course. But if I'd just be put back on a path I couldn't escape, there isn't a point, is there? What of you?
