Aymeric has won this battle. As the bodies of his two comrades lay in this greying room, and the tendrils of darkness begin to creep further into this doomed world, maybe he'll feel something like regret, or guilt. Maybe he's too far gone to feel anything but elation at the thought of his success, however twisted and malicious it is, because - all he'd wanted... all they wanted, was just an end to the cycle of ceaseless death that they could never truly escape from.
This world is doomed. The plantlife will die out. No more rain will fall here. The people will become mindless, tearing at each other and themselves until nothing is left. But perhaps... now that he's broken past every barrier set before him, now that he's slashed through every taboo - perhaps he'll be able to do something. All he has to do is go back in time again, right? Maybe it will leave another dead world, or maybe this time, he'll be able to keep things from falling apart.
As the dying world consumes them, Aymeric will still have that single glimmer of hope to hold onto until his consciousness flickers away.]
