I'm pleased to say that the Door is in full working order. All of your allies left behind in the Null relay have been restored to us and I am able to manipulate the Door to send you home. If everyone who wishes to go home will meet me at Fear's temple after reading this post, I will send you wherever you like- be it your own world or someone else's.
You may also stay here. With the Null dead, our priorities are now rebuilding. We would not need anything from you, but as thanks for your efforts we would be happy to provide for you, as we do for our hosts, for as long as we live.
Now, with that being said- if you wouldn't mind pardoning us for some small sentimentality, we all have something that we would like to say.
These past few years have only amounted to an extremely small fraction of my lifespan, and yet it is the most important thing I will have ever done. We were cruel- I was cruel- to take life from other universes and force them to save us. I knew that then, but I also knew that there was no other option. To that end, I apologize.
Even so, you have saved us. Not just the gods remaining, or just the city, or the small amount of hosts we were able to find- but a species. You've saved the last remnants of a peaceful sentient species from genocide, and in doing so, allowed us to move forward and rebuild, to bring everything back from the brink of collapse. When my business with you is done, I will attempt to reclaim our cultural artifacts and to locate and preserve our history for the generations to come. I will document what happened here and ensure that our entire species knows that our future is possible because of you.
I will not forget what you have done for us. None of us will.
So Confusion's dead. That's not so great - I know you guys didn't like her, and she didn't like you, but I liked her. Hope's still here, though, so she'll be back sooner or later. I've got that at least, right?
And hey, most of us are still here. You guys fought hard, we all did, and it paid off. I'm not too sorry to see the Null go, if I'm honest. Good luck at home and stay chill, all right? I'll see you all around.
I'm not going to snivel and thank you like the others here. I know you did this because you didn't have another choice. In the end, we part ways as victims of circumstance.
Delight is dead and Hope can't bring her back. So while the rest of us celebrate and talk about rebuilding, I'm going to remember our fallen. I have nothing else to say to you.
I'll admit that I didn't think this was possible. Thought that running was the only option we had, and that- whatever the hell this is- was a pipe dream. I guess it worked out.
Still, we had some good times, huh? When it was just me and Hope and we turned on the Door without knowing how the hell it worked and brought these weird little fleshy people into the city- yeah, you were all mad at us, but that was pretty fun. Distracted me from the inevitable end of my people, anyway. Or... not inevitable now, I guess. Thanks for that.
Anyway, I'm gonna go with Hope. See what we can do about bringing everything back to life and whatnot, after we restore the fallen here. And speaking of... Love isn't here but I'm sure if they were, they'd say something really weird and sappy to you guys, so just make something up and imagine it comes from them.
That's all I've got. Enjoy the rest of your lives, humans.
Thank you for all that you have done. This is not what I would have chosen - genocide is never an option I wanted explored - but I know that it makes us all safe. For that, I am grateful, and for the chance to repair what has been done to my people and to our hosts.
I will heal all of you that may still need it. Once you have gone, I'll do as I've always said I will, and bring back my species. That am I able to do so at all is thanks to you. Please know that you are appreciated, and you are welcome back in this city if you ever wish to return.
Please take care of yourselves, each other, and those at home whom you love. Life is an impossibly precious thing.
