I didn't need to write this. The epilogue is still the ending for everyone. And the question,'What happened to Rex and Naegi?' is probably better left unanswered if you want the most artsy ending. But I still wanted to. And, I'm calling the Dangansquad here in case you want some bonus feels after the end of the rp.

He'd done it. Naegi was gone. Of course, that wasn't really what he was thinking about. The bullets in his chest weren't letting him think about anything else. Except, what he had to do. He would fail those he was planning to lead. But he would at least accomplish his dream. He would live, until then. He willed himself to live until then, as he walked down the stairs, Naegi's body being carried on his back. He had to use the railing on the stairs to support him. Only having one working arm, as well as carrying a body wasn't helping with that either. But, he had to succeed. If he failed at this. His life would've had no meaning at all. Aside from, aside from letting Naegi see his dreams come true. And that, would not be all he could stand for. It couldn't be. He didn't try to stop a man for so long, only to having him succeed be the last thing he could see. And that's why he was forcing a corpse and his own dying body down flights and flights of stairs. He couldn't help but have his thoughts drift to the past. It was always said that your life flashed before your eyes as you died, after all.

"Kya, Kya, look what I did!" A young Rex said with joy, pointing towards a destroyed mini Monokuma robot lying on the ground,"Your mega-super-science slingshot really worked!" That's how he started out. Firing slingshots at robots. Funny to see how things change. Back then, he never could've killed anyone. He never even knew much about guns.
"Of-of course it did! You know a mad scientist like me would never fail!" Kyasurin said. Rex felt some regret, remembering her. He never did patch things up between them. But she knew him so well. She would understand, right? Why he ended up like this.
--------
He stopped for a moment. His vision was starting to fog. He needed a break. But how much time did he have left? He couldn't take a break. Being too tired, falling asleep. It would end him. So he kept moving. He would at least die with his dream in his eyes. It wasn't too much longer. It wasn't...
--------
"When we're older, I bet we'll be able to have built our own massive base, a shining building in the middle of all this rubble! And only us would live there. So we'd have all the food and beds and everything just for us!" Kyasurin said. It was such a childish dream. But back then, we were children. Children using dreams and each other to live in this world.
--------
He reached the room he was looking for. The simulation control room. He took Naegi's body up to the controls. It took the two of them together to turn off the system. The master and the successor. I wonder what he would think, knowing I'm using his corpse to end it all. But, he accomplished his dream. With those kids. Maybe, he would accept me accomplishing mine. It was hard to see the computer with how black everything was getting. But, I'd pretended to do this so many times. I'd dreamed of doing this so many times. I could've been dead and my body still would've finished it.
--------
"They're gone. Those other people are gone, Kya! I scared them off!" A 12 year old Rex said.
"Who were they?" Kyasurin asked.
"I don't know. They looked kinda like us though. Still, with your slingshot and my accuracy, nobody could ever take us down!"
"Yes! That fact is only becoming more true every second of every day!"
--------
Why do I keep thinking of stuff like that? I guess I still have so much left to regret. But it's over. It's over for me. Perhaps, I should've found someone to carry on what I believe in. No, that wouldn't have worked. I'm different then Naegi. I'm my own person. I am only me. And yet he was using both of their hands to turn off the simulation. His body fell against the machine. He didn't have enough strength to stand. But somehow, he had enough to strength to continue entering all the necessary passwords. At least for this, luck was on his side.
--------
"Rex?" Naegi asked,"Did I ever tell you about my friends?"
"Friends? No." Rex said.
"It was my friends that was the reason I can keep going to this day." Naegi said.
"But they died. I know that much." Rex said.
"Yes, but, that's not what matters about them. What matters is that they believed in me, and themselves to the end." Naegi said.
"But, if they died, didn't it hurt so much? Knowing they believed in you?" Rex asked.
"Still, it helped me in the end. Maybe, and I'm not forcing you into anything. But you should try to find people like that for you." Naegi said.
"Don't worry about me so much. I'm fine." Rex said.
"Alright. Sorry."
--------
Rex didn't know what could've changed. Him and Naegi. He knew they would always stand on opposite sides of that platform. But maybe, he wouldn't feel like this. Still, he finished the command. The simulation was off. At least, everyone else would wake up. That might not make him truly happy. He still had regrets that would never be solved. But didn't everyone? At least, he managed to do this something right. He started to see everything go black, his face fell against a monitor of what was happening underground. He started to see people waking up. It was the last thing he saw.
--------
"Hey Kya, I was thinking something." Rex said,"We've grown up together our whole lives, you know."
"Well, yeah. What is it, Rex?" Kyasurin asked.
"Since we don't know too much about when we were little. I think we should give ourselves a birthday." Rex said.
"But, what day would it be? It's not like we have a calendar of every year." Kyasurin said.
"Maybe not. It doesn't even necessarily have to be on the same day every year. But, I think we should have the same birthday. And it should be around the day we first met. That seems like a good birthday for the both of us!" Rex said.

I'm sorry...
Kyasurin...Everyone...
I still have...
Regrets...
Please remember...
What I...
Was.
