Entry 46:

As I open my eyes after taking the night off, I see light beginning to peek through the window, and usually reincarnators would complain about having to get up early, but for me.

The light I see poured through the window is confirmation that everything that I did yesterday happened.

Linus Ozias is a regular business major with two abilities that beat the worm universe.

To be honest, the work has probably just begun, but instead of going downstairs, I went up to the roof and sat down on the white plastic chair I have up there that's still there.

As I sit down and see the skyline of Brockton Bay, I can hear through my enhanced hearing parties still celebrating the end of the end bringers.

" You know, sitting here writing in this journal has really shown the progress I have had over this past year," I think to myself.

Yet here I am on the precipice of leading humanity towards a new age.

If it were me when I first started, I would be terrified of the responsibility and complexities that come with doing so.

Now, I see it as inevitable, not out of confidence or arrogance, but simply out of what is.

I had a good start; I had two good abilities and an actual ID, in addition to the fact that I had a 3-year head start.

I was lucky that I even had precog defenses.

I was lucky that I was given enough time and resources to get everything done.

But regardless of these inner machinations, I know that this work wasn't mine alone; I was aided by excellent friends, yes, friends.

Connor, Chloe, Kara, Marcus, and all the other androids played a purpose, and I couldn't have done it without them.

I am going to miss all of them when I leave.

I will miss Connor and his wardrobe of three-piece suits and ridiculous amounts of hair gel.

I will miss Chloe advising me in business and helping me with my paperwork.

I will miss coming home and seeing Kara ready at the dinner table with a meal I knew she created just for me.

I am going to miss Marcus's stoic presence in the room, and I even read his self-help books. They're pretty good.

I will even miss Dread, my AI, one of my first creations. I'm going to miss that tsundere meme, lord. As well as Cyber(Porygon) and Mag(Magnazone) along with all the magnemite.

You could argue that I could take them with me by simply copying their memory drives and personality matrixes, but I can't, and I know it.

This was not only my first test end quest but also a lesson on how to let go.

But I still have time, and I will eventually be able to come back to this world, maybe just to reminisce or to look upon any inefficiencies or mistakes I have made.

Hindsight is 20/20, they say.

For now, I'm just going to take this day and relax. I think I've earned it.

And for the first time ever since coming here, I sit back in the chair and relax.

I should check on the Herbert family, and then I use my increased eyesight to look through the city.

And do you know what I see?

I see a happy family sitting down for breakfast with a family that will never know what could have happened.
