Peter sits alone. The bag of destroyed cures next to him.

Suddenly, Ned, Nathaly, and MJ appear and wrap him in a hug. Peter collapses into them and sobs.

"I'm sorry." MJ gently pulls back. "Peter, there's... there's some people here."

"What?" Peter looks at Nathaly who looks at the box in her hands.

Peter leaps up, sensing them... Raimi-Verse and Webb-Verse Peter stare down from the school's tower, silhouetted by the moon.

Peter takes a protective stance, guarding his friends, as Raimi-Verse Peter and Webb-Verse Peter swing down.

"Hey, wait, wait-- whoa!"

The other Peters' faces say it all. "Yes, we're... you." Says raimi-verse Peter. "Sorry... about May."

"Yeah, sorry. I've got some understanding of what it--." Webb-verse Peter says.

"No, no, no... please don't tell me that you know what I'm going through." Peter says Nathaly looked at her Peter took
it harder than she did.

"Okay." Webb-verse Peter nodded.

"She's gone. And it's all my fault. She died for nothing. So I'm gonna do what I should have done in the first place."

Peter reaches for The Box in Nathaly's hand.

"Peter—."

"Please, don't! You don't belong here, either of you. So I'm sending you home. Those other guys are from your worlds, right?"

Webb-Verse Peter nods.

"So you deal with it. And if they die, if you kill them... that's on you. It's not my problem. I don't care anymore. I'm done. I'm really sorry that I dragged you into this. But you have to go home now. Good luck."  Peter reaches for The Box again, Nathaly gently pulls it back. She looks at Peter, "just hear them out." She said softly.

"My uncle Ben was killed. It was my fault." Said Raimi Peter.

(I'm sorry but my OC will ruin this amazing scene.)

"I lost..." Webb Peter stopped to blink the tears away. "I lost Natalia."

Nathaly and her friends looked at him surprised. "My, um... she was my MJ. I couldn't save her. I'm never gonna be able to forgive myself for that. But I carried on, tried to, um... try to keep going, try to keep being the uh... that "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man," 'cause I knew that's what she would have wanted. But at some point, I just-- I stopped pulling my punches. I got rageful. I got bitter. I just don't want you to end up like... like me."

Webb-verse Peter looked at Nathaly and she gave a soft comforting smile.

"The night Ben died, I hunted down the man who I thought did it. I wanted him dead. I got what I wanted. It didn't make it better. It took me a long time to learn to get through that darkness."
