The ladybug rests on the tip of his finger. It looks at the old samurai in a peculiar way, almost as if it remembers him from another time, another place. He looks back at it too, reflecting back on when both him and Ashi finally stopped fighting for once, and had common ground. The ladybug represented a sign of the beauty left in a world destroyed, a forgotten future ravaged by the now deceased demon Aku. 

Jack brings the little insect closer to his face, for closer inspection. It's beautifully loud red color contrasting with the grey environment that represented his current forlorn outlook. He felt alone once more, he had returned home only to lose one of the few things that made the future worth living in. 

A little buzzish sound came from the cute little animal, and it started to flutter its tiny bug wings as light burst from the clouds down upon, as if a sign from the heavens above that all is going to be okay. Jack gave a little smile, and stood up. He outstretched his arm and watched as the symbol of first peace between him and Ashi flew away into the distant green landscape. The environment grew brighter as the cherry blossom tree began to dance in the wind. 

Jack closed his eyes and took a  deep breath, his long hair flowing in the wind. He needed this. He knew what he had to do. He had to honor her memory, her purity. He would become Samurai Jack once more. A long journey was ahead, and his new life was only beginning...

Got to fight. Fight for the present. Samurai Jack.
