After a few cloudy and rainy days, sunlight finally penetrated the clouds and cast down onto Klostern. With the battle marks washed away by rain, tranquility returned to the old town, as if nothing had happened. Patrick back in his augmented core battle suit was looking up at the sky. Theresa was not going to expose everything Otto and Schicksal had done because she wants to keep Schciksal's reputation. And Honkai experimentation is still needed to survive against the Honkai. Speaking of Theresa, she walks up to Patrick then stops next to him by his left.

Theresa: It's finally over.

She stayed silent for a few seconds before speaking again.

Theresa: Otto took something precious from all of us... for 500 years he's taken whatever he wanted. And killed who ever he wanted to kill. His appetite to bring Kallen back from the dead has been insatiable.

Patrick: He's taken far too much. You realize that.

The camera switches to the sky then back to Theresa and Patrick.

Theresa: Yes. He's taken things from us that we'll never be able to get back... The sacrifices we've endured on this journey stretches far as the planet itself. But it's thanks to their sacrifices we're here to tell the tale and carry on in their stead.

Kiana: There were also some things that we managed to take back from him.

Kiana, Bronya, Seele, and Fu Hua came up to them and stopped next to Theresa.

Bronya: Some sacrifices had to be made to protect us .

Seele: Me and some others that you've lost are back together with you.

Patrick: Yes. Some sacrifices had to be made to save us and humanity.

Silhouettes of heads of the fallen appeared in the sky as Patrick said them in an order.

Patrick: Himeko, Cecelia, Kallen, Sakura... It's over.

Silence lasted a few minutes before Theresa broke the silence.

Theresa: You didn't have to go after him you know.

Patrick: I had to. I needed to make sure that he never lives a happy life with Kallen. Because the whole purpose of coming here was to stop him from getting to the Imaginary Tree. I really couldn't care less if changing the past with the Imaginary Tree won't cause the future to change. Without Kallen dying. You and Kiana would never get born or exist. And without you and Kiana. Some things won't exist, be made, happen, or occur. Like St. Freya would never exist.

Kiana: I guess that you do have a point.

Fu Hua: But now he's gone, Patrick. And you need to let go.

Patrick: It will be hard to let go. But... Even after he learned the error of his ways. I refused to let him get what he wanted.

Theresa: If Kallen had not died. Do you think he would've been a different man?

Patrick: No. He would still be the same evil man he's always been. Even without Kallen dying and never finding Void Archives. Given everything he's done to us, with all the atrocities he's caused for 500 years, how he released Honkai beasts to cause a distraction to try to prevent Kallen from getting executed, and wanted nothing more than to be together with Kallen even if it meant causing crimes and killing billions of people. It was already too late for him. His fate was sealed.

The Valkyries could only agree.

Fu Hua: You've made your point enough. Just...

Patrick: Alright. No more rambling. ... So many sacrificed themselves to save us and helped us live on. Even though he's taken so many things from us that we'll never be able to get back. There were some things that he's taken from us that we've managed to take back from him as Kiana said before.

Theresa: So now that he's gone. What do you think you want to do now, Patrick?

Patrick: While humanity maybe free from his lies and false hopes. Humanity is still not free from Kevin's lies and false hopes.

Fu Hua: That is true. Humanity is free from Otto. But not from Kevin. As we still have him to defeat.

Patrick: Fighting against him will be impossible. But while he may be overpowered. We'll find a way to defeat him.

Fu Hua: Yes. We'll find a way to defeat him.
