Randolph looked over at Alice who looked at him, Randolph had known her for that short period of time as his cousin due to the marriage. They had their moments which they both treasured though now he was leaving her behind.

"I hope you take care of yourself and spend time with your mother," 

Randolph smiled though Alice hugged him tightly while he embraced as she sobbed into his chest. 

"Goodbye Uncle, I really hope you and Maxence have that wonderful life you've been dreaming of for so long," 

Alice pulled away and smiled. She looked over at Max who was pretty much saying his goodbyes to Theo.

Max pulled away from Theo looked into his glassy blue eyes 

"I want you to know I did care for you and Alice I hope you too will be happy now you're reunited with your mother," 

Max let Theo go he ruffled his hair Theo grabbed Max arm and buried himself against his chest

 "Theo you have to let go now," Max chuckled softly.

Theo eventually let go of the doctor. 

"I kind of wish I was going...then again even if I did would you want me around?" 

Maxence looked at Randolph who was hugging Alice. Maxence drifted back over to where Randolph was as he let go of Alice and returned to the circle. Maxence whispered something to Randolph which neither of them could hear as Randolph looked over at Theodore. Alice proceeded with the ritual as Theo watched. Max and Randolph awaited the pieces of the scarf to tie to their pinkies; it leapt away from them Alice was in shock as they saw that the two strings tied to Theo's pinkies stood there in awe.

"What just happened?" 

Alice was confused that the scarf connection had attached itself to Theo and Theo looked at them stunned he couldn't go anywhere he was part of this, which meant his mother's previous words of saying he was meant to go with Max and Randolph was something he couldn't change at all. 

"Clearly Theo meant to come with us now," 

Randolph didn't seem bothered by it. Theo slowly walked back towards them the string slowly retracted back into the scarf until Theo was now inside the circle with Max and Randolph on either side of him. Alice stood there besides herself, she was going to have to say goodbye to her twin brother as well.

"Theo is part of us....he can't stay behind," 

Maxence looked at Theo who didn't know what to express. He looked at his pinkie fingers and they were wounded with the red wool strands.

"I'm going with you," 

Theo looked over at Alice who put on a brave face, at this moment Theo's time in Limbo was over and if his mother words were true he would be back again just not at this time.
