He fell to the ground.
He felt the sharp, gritty stone, the sharp glass shards scratching at his skin, and the faint pangs ricocheting through his head.
Ah. He realized.
Everything was muffled, like being trapped underneath the waves of Uzushio, garbled, unclear.
Pein... had succeeded. This path would revive the rest.
He had failed, hadn't he?
He grasped at the remaining bits of light and shadows, and saw nothing else as the world faded to black.

The only thing left were the bijuu as they returned into the juubi, one by one, saying farewell to the last one standing.
And underneath the reign of the bright red moon, all was lost in the throes of an infinite dream.
A dream, dreamed by a blonde little fox.
