"Surviving the end of everything doesn't mean you won. It just means you know how to begin again."—Kael
Location – Earth-616, Wakandan Outreach Station, One Week Later
Rain fell softly as Kael stood before a new structure in the heart of Wakanda's mountainous borderlands. It wasn't a lab. It wasn't a sanctum. It was something in between.
A place for fractured things to be made whole.
Riri approached, holding a piece of Liora's crystalline shard—now inert.
"It stopped glowing after the Rift sealed."
Kael nodded, quiet.
"That's because she didn't just close the Red Shift. She wrote herself into the fabric of tomorrow."
"Think she's gone?" Riri asked.
"No," Kael said."I think we'll hear her again. In the spaces between."
Elsewhere – Kamar-Taj
Wong sat across from Seris-Va, sipping tea in silence.
"You think Anachrys is really gone?" she asked.
Wong didn't answer immediately.
Then:
"She was never about surviving. She was about being remembered. And people like that don't die. They just… echo."
Seris-Va nodded.
"We'll be ready if she does."
The Mirrorheart
Kael placed the Mirrorheart—now stabilized—into a chamber of harmonic containment. No longer violent. No longer fractured.
For the first time, it pulsed not with chaos…
…but with choice.
He stepped back, unsure of what came next.
And that was the point.
Final Scene – Somewhere Beyond
In the black between stars, something shimmered—a tear in time, too small to see, too ancient to close.
A voice whispered from beyond it. Not Anachrys. Not Liora.
Someone else.
"He carries the Violet Thread.The pattern is incomplete.Begin again."
A silver eye blinked open in the dark.
