Flames suddenly engulfed her, and a hauntingly familiar purr echoed off the cave. "I think I'll just take this little soul to hell with me, where she was born, and where she belongs. She has reconciled with her daddy, haven't you, Zekky?"
Zekyu's voice rang in Cole's ears. "Yes. Cole, you don't have to bring me back. Me and my parents are finally at peace. I should've done this earlier. Cole, listen... I did this on purpose. Yes, I killed myself, but I have been suicidal for almost my entire life. And remember, you have Viola. Forget everything I said about being stuck between heaven and earth... I should have remembered that there was one realm I could go to."
Zekyu emerged from the fire, her eyes glowing white. "I am still with you, my love. I am still in your heart, and the memories we share are still in your mind. The longer you are without me, the more you will see me in the kids. We will see each other again, some day. I promise. And Cole...never forget that I love you."
She looked back to the fire. "Come on, father, let's go home."
"Whenever you're ready, my little girl." With one last loving glance over her shoulder, Zekyu stepped into the flames. The fire lifted and formed into a phoenix, nodding to Cole before flying away peacefully.
"...dad?" A brownish male poked Cole in the rear with his claw. "Is mom...dead?" It was Famiiy. "What happen? Should I tell Persephone? Summon Isabelle and tell her?"
