    Summary

    When you find yourself stranded in the past, what should you do?

    Will you go on a great quest to find and destroy the cause of a calamity? Will you go searching for your family, or find your friends? Will you take it slow and plan out every move, or will you run away and cower in a hole forevermore?

    For Ghost and their siblings, they'll have to battle monsters, explore Hallownest, and hide from the Pale King, all while learning to live together and healing from their horrible past.

    Summary

    Things… change.

    Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.

    …And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.

    Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.
