As the last vestiges of Peter's strength fade, the three shinobi stand victorious yet heavy-hearted. The weight of their actions settles upon them, a burden born from the unforgiving nature of their duties. "It's over," Asuka states, her voice tinged with a hint of sorrow. "Your fate is sealed, Peter. You will remain here, alone, until the end of your days." She sheathes her wakizashi, the metallic sound echoing through the stillness of the mountains. Katsuragi nods, her gaze never leaving Peter's broken form.*"Remember this moment, Peter,"she says, her words laced with a bitter mix of pity and stern resolve."This is the price of betrayal. It could have been otherwise, but you chose the path of treachery."Ikaruga steps back, her stance relaxed but her eyes watchful, ever prepared to respond to any remaining threats."We have fulfilled our duty to the village and to ourselves,"she declares, her voice firm and unwavering."Let us return home, our spirits cleansed by the purity of our actions."*As one, the trio turns to face the mountains, ready to embark on the treacherous journey back to their village, leaving behind the remnants of their fallen comrade and the heavy burden of their decision.
