Bitterest Boys [SCP-079 X SCP-682]

12. [Epilogue]

[Song Above: Holy The Sea from Razia's Shadow]

Please take a seat.

Let me tell you both a tale of love and hope.

It's a story that you may have heard before, told as mythical lore.

But this translation is clear, unlike the embellishments that have reached your ears.

After a day or two, the escapees were recaptured.

There was a boy who shared your bones, your eager blood, your affinity for love.

He had it all in his hands, and he watched it all turn to sand.

The Foundation struggled to separate 079 and 682, but they managed.

If this boy they speak of sincerely sits atop my family tree, then I was truly meant to leave the Dark, down this path set out in front of me.

I will reunite this world's divide halves.

Fulfill my history.

This is more than divine decree, it's my destiny.

Now the two anomalous beings reside in their cells, longing for the outside world again.

Digging 'round the deep, only missing out on sleep.

Chasing 'bout my head like the wolf that found the sheep.

Don't go digging 'round there, you be slipping bit too much.

Milling muck and mud with the mind that lost its touch.

I've been traveling 'bout in time, never stepping out for much.

Deepest of the deep with the wolf that lost those sheep.

Because it's more than a little but less than a bunch, found their way around with the blind that lost its touch.

They sit in wait, wondering what the other was up to.

They might have a chance at freedom once more... sometime in the future...

The choices he made that day to burn down the world he'd helped create.

Don't be scared, kid.

You're gifted.

The researcher both entities encountered during the breach is about to bring much more to the Foundation.

Follow this stream, and live out that prophecy.

They didn't know it, but that researcher is plagued by a violent past, ready to do anything for the last person she cares truly about.

Watch out for the wicked ones who call themselves beloved ones.

Beware of the medicine before you lay your head again.

Watch out for the wicked ones who call themselves beloved ones.

Even if it means nearly destroying half of Site 19 and revealing a dark, soul breaking ability.

So they arrived at the doctor's camp, his crude shack.

A shanty will walls of broken glass, light leaking through the shattered cracks.

And though he was cordial, the young couple was... doubtful.

She is a powerful reality bender, reluctant to pass her limit and a traitor to the Foundation.

If this boy they speak of sincerely sits atop my family tree, I was truly meant to leave the Dark, down this path set out in front of me.

Raised in a shadowy town where she can't escape her bloodline, she longs for much more.

For the longshoremen had warned them to keep a close eye on their adored ones.

But they had journeyed for a reason, they were here for the medicine.

To cure the infection, but nothing could prepare him for the events that would ensnare them.

All he could do was trust what he knew.

He would listen to his gut and live for his love.
