You stand still, as you watch the facility burning into flames. Ari is dead, you thought. She’s gone. She had saved you and saved everyone. HERO is now gone. There will be no longer any zombie experiments now. The world will go back to peace. There will be no stealing, no fighting between bases. Everyone will be able to survive and thrive and renew the dead city.

You go back to the helicopter waiting for you beside the burned facility. Rex follows beside you as you go on board the helicopter. The helicopter lifts up slowly. You think of Ari. You look at the burning facility once again. You feel heavy-hearted.

“I know it’s hard to accept her death, kid.” Rex says, realizing your pain, “but I guess she really wanted to sacrifice herself to save you and everyone, didn’t she?”

You nod softly.

Rex sighs.

“I know. I’ve been watching her and her dad the whole time. When I heard the kid’s dad got killed, I was actually surprised. He was just a scout ranger. Just a common, ordinary scout ranger. And then,” Rex sighs, “he died. For the base, and for you. I was really astonished. A scout ranger who saved the base. And that kid, Ari -- she too was like her father. But she was stronger. I slowly knew that every time when I saw her in the battle. And, especially, this one. I guess, now, I should give my appreciation to the father and his daughter for saving everyone. They are the true heroes.”

You nod again. The helicopter glides through the open sky, into the setting sun.
Your eyes blink as you see the sunlight beaming towards you.

You arrive at the Base E, which has now turned to Base A. Everything is completely normal. Military guarding the base, officials going in and out, people walking through the main lobby, Commander Rex going back to his duty, the quietness of the dead city. Nothing has changed. You go to the outer rim of the base, holding a hot cup of drink. The sun is quietly slowing down towards the west, as the white and dark clouds begin to turn red. You take a sip. Hot drink warms you.

But just then, you hear a distant shout from the base nearby, pointing towards the sunset.

“There’s someone coming!”

You squint your eye, trying to look who’s coming through the beaming sunlight.

You see a familiar figure, limping towards the base.
It’s a woman.
No, it’s a girl.
It’s the girl who wears a bow.
It’s the girl who has the “Base Albatross” mark on her shoulder.
It’s the girl you’ve known for a long time. . .
