Jiro runs up a staircase with a light at the top.







He breaks through a door at the top!



He has broken free to the surface, ending up on the roof of the facility, bright sky above him. He runs as fast as his legs take him.





The Bastard bursts out behind him!

PATHETIC.



There is
nothing
fucking sadder
than fighting a battle
you've already lost.


Jiro looks to the side of the path he's running along, he sees a line of skylight windows.

So RUN.


Run until your body tires
and your lungs burn out
and your legs break



Jiro jumps through the skylight!



I'LL STILL BE HERE.





He hits the ground with a too-loud thud.










The Bastard descends upon him.

It's over.

The deep
will always
claim you

—Jiro—
...
I know
But you're coming down with me.

Ahaa...
AhaHAHAHA

Don't you get it? ...
I've always...


The Bastard looks up. He and Jiro are surrounded by a battery of Aveans, including a Leviathan and General Ribrax herself.




What are you looking at.
