You spend the whole night there. You weren't left alone, of course, after everything that happened. You're pretty sure all of your allies visited you over the course of the night. Some came to make sure your mind was still there. Some came to give you food and water. Some came just to talk about the good old days. Hell, some didn't say anything at all.

You were shocked when Frank was the last one to arrive and all he did was just stared into the wine-dark sky alongside you.
You suppose he was never one for big social events. You offer him a faint nod to acknowledge his presence before you focused your attention back into the starry night sky.

Peace and quiet. A completely foreign concept to you given how busy your life has been. It's not something you dislike, though, it's just. Different.
Hours pass by and all you can really think is that, well, it's over. There's nothing left but to just...relax. Decompress. To be yourself. To do whatever you want.

It's such a funny feeling. You spent your whole life chasing after one goal, one dream, that you lose track of what to do after it. Maybe that Stille Dag CEO was right on some level - You don't know what you'll do without a threat to chase. You always did think in the back of your head that you picked the Cleaner job because...you needed the excitement.

To show the world that you're willing to fight for your life. To leave some sort of impact.
You suppose you did leave an impact. Far, far more of an impact than you expected.
Frank mutters something under his breath, "Let's go inside. The others are waiting."

You would snark at him at his stiff attempt at being cordial but, nah, you don't feel like doing it.
You're just glad that you have a FAMILY-.
You're just glad you have a family that you can love. That you have people who love you. That worry about you.

The two of you get off the ground. You suppose it's time to embrace the new chapter of your life, huh?
God knows what'll happen once this is all said and done.
You follow Frank back to the cabin. If what he said was true, Benedict is making a pretty sweet roast from a deer they hunted out here. You can't help but to laugh at the morbid joke. You suppose that's just how Cityslickers bond.

Seven months has passed.
Wow, yeah, time flew by in a blur. Not because nothing happened but because, well, you just haven't felt an urge to monologue and to record every last thing that happened in your life. Not after you retired as a Cleaner. No point doing odd jobs and you'll explain why very, very soon.

Things have changed a lot over the few months. You try to take a moment to think about all of the big examples.

Well, first thing first, there's one brand new CEO and one CEO in training. Alexis Morozov has been solidified as the K-Corp CEO for a while now and, from what you heard, she's been doing a pretty decent job at running the Company. Things were shaky at first due to the impromptu coup of the former CEO, of course.
