[Kaida awakens, gasping for breath, her body aching from the collapse. She blinks against the bright sunlight pouring down on her face, and slowly sits up. They're back—not in the alien world, but home. The familiar sky of Zerith stretches above them, and the city skyline looms in the distance.]

Aric (groaning, rubbing his head):
"We made it..."

Lira (looking around in disbelief):
"How? How did we get back?"

Kaida (still catching her breath, staring at the horizon):
"The Gateway... it must've sent us back when it collapsed. It brought us home."

[For a long moment, they just sit there, staring at the city. Everything they fought for, everything they sacrificed—it's over. But there's still a sense of unease lingering in the air.]

Aric (quietly):
"It's not really over, is it?"

Kaida (shaking her head, her voice heavy):
"No. Zenith's gone, but the Skyward's technology is still out there. And others will come looking for it."

[Lira stands, brushing off the dust and looking determined.]

Lira:
"Then we make sure no one ever finds it. We protect what's left, for as long as it takes."

Kaida (nodding, feeling the weight of the future ahead):
"Agreed. We'll make sure no one ever uses that power again."
