### Scene 1: The Final Decision  

The Chrono Stone hovered in Carol's hand, glowing with soft, golden light. The Rift Nexus was finally silent—a vast expanse of shimmering starlight.  

Lilac folded her arms, her gaze steady. "We could destroy it... but do we have the right to?"  

Neera shook her head, her expression grim. "If we don’t, someone else could use it... someone worse than Celios."  

Milla hugged her arms. "It caused so much pain... but maybe it was supposed to be something good."  

Carol stared at the Chrono Stone, her tired eyes reflecting the golden glow. Her body still ached, but her mind was clear. She took a deep breath.  

"It’s not our job to rewrite time," she whispered, "but it is our job to make sure no one else does either."  

Her friends exchanged solemn nods as they gathered around the stone. Carol’s bracelet pulsed as they placed their hands on her shoulder. The golden light grew brighter, surrounding the stone like a cocoon.  

"Goodbye," Carol murmured as the stone floated into the center of the vortex and vanished with a brilliant flash.  

The platform beneath them shimmered as the Nexus disintegrated into warm, golden light.

### Scene 2: Back in Avalice  

The familiar breeze of Lilac’s Treehouse greeted them as they reappeared on solid ground. The hills stretched peacefully beneath the morning sun, and the scent of flowers filled the air.  

Carol stumbled slightly but caught herself, letting out a soft laugh. "Okay... I need to lie down forever."  

Lilac crossed her arms and exhaled. "We’re finally home."  

Neera nodded. "And time is safe."  

Milla hugged Carol with a wag of her tail. "We really did it!"  

Carol gave her a tired thumbs-up. "Yeah... but the bathroom’s mine first."

### Scene 5: A New Dawn  

As the day turned to dusk, Carol finally stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped in a towel and looking well-rested, though her eyes still carried the tired glint of someone who had fought fate itself.  

Lilac raised an eyebrow. "Enjoy your *five-hour bath*?"  

Carol stretched and flashed a mischievous grin. "Oh yeah... time well spent."  

Milla handed her a mug of hot tea. "We’re proud of you, Carol."  

Carol took the mug and smiled warmly. "I couldn’t have done it without you guys."
