+Canon of Beastie Detective (Epilogue)
+;#;
+Writing this far, I've finally pieced together some scattered fragments of the past:\\
+Before I became a primitive creature in Vonwacq's rainforests, Mr Ashveil's name had already been appearing frequently in our conversations.
+//"Survival rules? Do we even have that?"// Robin Hood the Archer once asked me this by the campfire.\\
+//"Try playing the hero, and you won't be far from becoming a real one. That's rule number one. You guys have pretty much nailed it,"// I said.\\
+//"Don't tell me you're making these up on the spot?"// Cole the Poet teased.\\
+Coria the Musician was laughing away, chomping on a steak, while the young couple Lina and Chris were singing songs they'd collected from across the cosmos.\\
+//"He also saiid rule number two... Treasure your companions, even if they're a bunch of jerks,"// I said.\\
+//"What about the boss of jerks? Wouldn't that make him the biggest jerk of all?"\\
+"Looking for another round of hellish training?"\\
+"Have mercy..."// Robin Hood threw his hands up. //"We've got a tough fight tomorrow."//\\
+A moment of silence.\\
+Cole looked up at the pitch-black night sky. //"Want me to write everyone's biography after this is over?"\\
+"Make sure you include this,"// I patted his shoulder. //"Survival rule number three: The sacrifices made in the long night are the price paid for tomorrow."\\
+"I'll remember that. How about using it as the ending?"\\
+"Let's wait till he comes up with rule number four. If he's still alive."//\\
+...
+Those weren't just detective tricks for cracking cases, but principles he taught us to live by.\\
+See? Even after all these years as a detective, traces of his past still linger.
+Therefore, I have revised the notes for section one as follows:\\
+① He sincerely hopes the pocket watch will tick slower, as his vow of revenge remains unfulfilled.\\
+② He often relives the past in his dreams to remember his companions who sacrificed themselves.\\
+③ Sleeping in the refrigerator eases the phantom pain each night, as he waits for the chance to slay the monstrous beast.
+Perhaps all along, he's been doing the same thing, pursuing the darkness in the name of justice, until punishment rains down upon the guilty.\\
+Now, he lives because his enemies have yet to die.\\
+Ashveil is the beast that refuses to kneel before fate and races down the narrow path toward death...
