Trigun Fan Fiction ❯ And So Shall Darkness Fall ❯ Epilogue ( Chapter 12 )

This is the lost epilogue. Figured we couldn't let it end the way we did, so now there's a little more closure on the thing. Tearjerker warning!


Part 12: Epilogue

Wolfwood looked at his hand, then at Sight. He waited for the outburst that was sure to follow. But Sight didn't do anything except stand there with her mouth open. Slowly, her hand lowered from her cheek. Then it happened. Sight's eyes filled with tears that she had refused to shed earlier. She bowed her head and let the tears flow freely. Sight felt an arm go around her shaking shoulders. She turned and buried her head in Vash's chest, sobbing. Her best friend, her *only* friend, was dead.

After a few minutes, Sight backed away from Vash. The front of his red coat was soaked.

Sight sniffed. "Sorry 'bout your coat, Vash," she said, trying to smile.

"No problem."

Sight turned to Wolfwood. "Do you think we could give her a decent burial? I don't want to leave her out here for the scavengers. Birds or bounty hunters."

Wolfwood nodded. "Shouldn't we take her home?" he asked.

Sight shook her head. "No, here is fine. Just not in the middle of town though."

"I don't think you should move her," Wolfwood said.

"Why not?"

"She didn't want you to see her."

"Screw that. I'm going to say my goodbyes before we bury her."

"Whatever you say. Are we gonna bury Legato too?"

"FUCK NO!" Sight roared. "Let his punk ass roast in the sun. Bastard!" Then she turned and walked over to Psych.

Sight was appalled at her friend's condition. She had taken a lot before going down. But there was still a slight grin on her face.

Sight reached out and closed Psych's eyes. "Goodbye, my friend."
