Bluey stood alongside the other allies, trying to figure out what happened. The last thing they could remember was laying on the ground, dying, with Liedmon by their side. Now they were standing in the same spot they died in, completely fine. They looked up, and saw Lied standing next to a tree, leaning against it for support. They started running towards him, wanting to gve him a hug

However, about halfway to him, Liedmon fell to the ground. Bluey ran faster, almost falling next to him. They turned Lied over, onto their back, and saw the growing bloodstain over his heart. Tears ran down their face as they grabbed his hand and held on to it as if their life depended on it.

''Please Lied, I- I can't lose you. Please-''

Lied smiled a bit, and wiped a stray tear from Bluey's cheek

''I'm sorry Bluey. I- I promised I would save you, and I did. It's time for me to go.''

Bluey nodded, and held on tighter

Soon, the other allies stood around Liedmon, not saying a word, but rather holding on to each other and crying.

A lone voice started singing, the pain in their voice evident

''Isn't it lovely, all alone. Heart made of glass, my mind of stone..''

The rest of the allies joined in

''.. Tear me to pieces, skin and bone..''

Lied looked at them, smiling his last smile

''..Hello, welcome home.''

A bird, or specifically a young sparrow, started whistling the song. It was beautiful.

By that point, Lied's eyes were closed, his breath becoming slower and slower. When the bird sung the final note, he took his final breath.

Everything was quiet. It was like the world has ended, which, for most of the allies, it has.

Death doesn't discriminate
Between the sinners and the saints
It takes and it takes and it takes
And we keep living anyway
We rise and we fall and we break
And we make our mistakes
And if there's a reason I'm still alive
When everyone who loves me has died
I'm willing to wait for it (Wait for it)
I'm willing to wait for it
