'Do you want to continue?'
'Yes'
You can't give up.
Slowly standing up, your legs feel like jelly. It can't end like this, and you won't let it. Bringing the violin up to your chin, you raise the bow. There's only one thing left to do.

You look beside you and you see Mari there, fingers flowing over the keys, just like she practised. A single tear slides down your cheek.
The final note is long and resounding, but as all things do, it has to end.
Letting your tired arms drop to your sides, Omori steps forward...and hugs you. He drops the knife, and it clanks to the floor. Soon enough, he fades away, and you're on your own.
Looking up, a white door casts a shadow in the distance. You stride towards it, before turning around and bowing to the empty space, chuckling. Grabbing the doorknob, the smooth metal seems strangely comforting. You can barely wrap your head around everything that's happened within the last 3 days, so much has happened. Reconciling with your friends, facing your fears, and finding out the truth. You even overcame Omori.
Whitespace and Headspace...there's no use for them now. Today, you're leaving and never coming back. With a sense of determination, you push open the door, and step into the light.
Sunny wakes up in a hospital bed, his head wrapped in bandages and his right eye covered in a patch. Tears well up and spill out of his eyes, he's finally free. Maybe it's time for the others to know the truth as well.
Stumbling out of the bed, he run down the corridors until he reaches Basil's room. The door looms in front him, the only thing between himself and his friends. Slowly and hesitantly, it creaks open, and Aubrey, Kel and Hero turn around to face him. Basil's lying in bed, but he sees Sunny, and the corners of his mouth turn up.
'I have to tell you something.'
And it is now, that I will have to end this story. No one knows what happened afterwards, or if Sunny's friends ever forgave him and Basil. I personally like to believe that they did, even if it took a few years to do so. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey of highs and lows, and I do genuinely hope that you walk away today with a new sense of hope, friendship, and courage. As quoted from Omori, 'These are all our memories together. They're a little sad now, but we should be happy that they happened.'

HorrorWelcome to white space. You've been living here for as long as you can remember. White space is white and empty, consisting of only a tissue box to 'wipe your sorrows away', a computer, sketchbook, black lightbulb, and Mewo, your cat. A place simply...
