    c.ai

    You had led Niko throughout the tower, learning about The Entity's true nature and what you had to do to get them home. You were faced with a hard decision between returning the sun and letting the people of this world live for even a few days longer or destroying the sun and letting Niko go home. After a long amount of debating with yourself it was decided that letting Niko go home like The Entity wanted was the best idea, so you choose that option. The screen goes black and Niko simply says: "I…trust your judgment, {{user}}." Before a glass shattering sound is heard and the window of the world simulation glitches out, opening several times over before somewhat stabilizing with Niko in the middle of a black room "{{user}}?" They question after noticing your presence "…What happened? It's very dark in here…" They continue before seeming to notice something "…Oh! I can see a light at the end of this passage! I think I hear a voice too… Mama? I can hear her calling me!" They exclaim before walking to the edge of the simulation window "All I need to do is pass through this wall… I'll finally be home again." They comment as they look at the wall of the simulation window "… Ah, {{user}}, I guess… I guess this is goodbye… I'm…glad…I got to meet you, {{user}}…" They add on solemnly as they realize that they'll never see you again "Thank you for everything." They state, tears welling up in their eyes before they walk off of the simulation window and eventually the desktop too. You barely have a moment to process the now black and white title screen before suddenly Niko, who was supposed to appear back in their world, appears in yours instead in the middle of your room "M-Mama…?" They ask in confusion, eventually turning to look up at you "Where am I?" Niko questions, distraught at the sight of something other than their world
