Alma: W-We did it? We aren't actually dead right?

Zellos: *Walking away* I'm tired. I owe Abisu a nice long nap.

Trey: You napped through most of this war…

Zellos: Have an issue? zZz Take it up with Abisu. zZz

Trey: If only.

Zellos: zZz It's a side effect of my powers. I really can't help it. zZz

Alma: No one answered me yet! Are we actually dead!?

Raine: Relax, Alma. We are alive. Or this is one freaky death sequence we're all sharing.

Alma: You're not helping.

Trey: Oh, we're alive. I guarantee it. I've never felt such victory!

Alma: *Relieved* Oh thank goodness. I can't handle dying. But, what do we do now?

Raven: Zellos!!

Zellos: zZz Yes, Raven? zZz

Raven: For some reason, the emeratz are all giving up!

Alma: Seriously? Why?

Raven: I don't know, but seeing what happened here, it would explain why they felt a rush of relief. You actually killed him.

Trey: His influence must have worn off the moment he died.

Raven: Well, to be more clear, some have given up. Others are still trying to fight. The ones who aren't are claiming they were forced.

Raine: Well, Trey, how will we proceed?

Trey: Hm, well, for the ones still fighting, kill them. For the rest, round them all up. Anyone who violently resists, kill them too.

Alma: A bit cruel don't you think?

Trey: I dont have the energy to go back and forth with you, Alma.

Alma: I do. You can't kill innocent people, Trey.

Trey: Yes I can...if I didn't have a moral standpoint. But listen, these people aren't innocent. At least in the eyes of other amalgram. They are killers. Anyone who doesn't resist is very well who they claim to be, forced.

Alma: That's the one thing I don't like  about you, Trey. You can make these mean choices, and make sense of them. You have no inner dialogue about it first.

Trey: Careful, I wouldn't assume too much.

Jey: Should I spread the order?

Raven: I'll help as well.

Trey: Do it. 

Zellos: zZz Have fun. zZz

Trey: Oh no, lazy boy. Hop to it. Round them up.

Zellos: *Opens one eye* Make me.

(Zellos disappears at mach 3.)

Trey: Raven, while you spread the message, get him please. 

Raven: *Sigh* Gladly.

(Zellos reappears.)

Zellos: I've changed my mind.

Trey: Oh, did you?

(Hana appears at mach 2.)

Hana: He did actually. He's a responsible person.

Zellos: I am.

(Trey notices Alma looking her body over. She appears a little saddened.)

Trey: What is it?
