"Woah?"

"Woah. It's been... far too long."

"Since when? Or what, I guess."

"The sun. The real sun."

"It doesn't flicker."

"It sure doesn't. It feels... nice."

"Well done on the steering."

"Thanks. We picked up a straggler along the way, too."

"More Twilights?"

"Not more Twilights. Not Ravens either before you ask."

"Gadget?"

"Gadget."

"Just the one?"

"Yeah. Just the one. She's been sleeping since we found her."

"Anypony else?"

"No."

"What's that in the distance? Another makeshift hut?"

"...No. Look what surrounds it."

"The darkness."

"The darkness."

"Do we think it will return?"

"Maybe not. Hopefully not. Look, it's dissipating."

"Let's hope."

"...It's gone."

"It's gone?"

"It's gone! Gone! Look, everypony! Look!"

"It's getting so bright..."

"Too bright."

"Airships?"

"Wait, airships? Wh--the light? It wasn't the sun?"

"Flames. Flames in a city, turning everything to ash. We're back where we started."
