Although Sheena had moved off, she could hear what was being said by the others, but had remained silent.

Until now.

Coming back to the group slowly, she pointed at Sonic. "He's right. All that's being done right now is giving the Calamity what it wants. When we worked together last year, and had all that 'good will' towards each other, the Calamity stopped. It didn't start up again until the Sage's vision--where we were pitted against each other. Memories and feelings that stayed with us."

She sighed.

"And then thanks to Narasimha, we started to be suspicious of each other, avoiding each other, and the Calamity started moving even faster." She was probably stating what everyone knew, but she had a point. She nodded towards Palitutu.

"She's been giving us the clue the entire time, I think. She's told us the solution isn't in Crystallis. I believe it's within ourselves." For a long moment, she looked at Palitutu, her voice quiet as she once again spoke.

"'Farewell, my shadow. You, who stand at the end of the path I chose not to follow. I wanted my own world, so I don’t regret my choice. I would make the same choice all over again. I will continue to choose this path!'"

Looking back up, she said, "Something someone else in a similar situation once said. Let her follow this path she chose."

And with that, she stepped through the portal.
