The silence was...Peaceful.

To be honest, for the first time, they felt truly relaxed and at peace.

Darkness surrounded them as they laid still in the void.

Just them.

That's all there was.

And even then, one could argue there wasn't even that.

It was so different from the constant ticking of the clock, the pressure they felt to make the most of the time they had, constantly running around moving and desperately trying to beat the clock.

But...

Now.

Now everything was still.

And quiet.

And laid to rest.

They had made the most out of the year they had.

It wasn't the year they had wanted but it was the year that not only they, but everyone who came on their journey with them, needed.

They made so many peoples year.

Brought light to the dark time.

Brought hope, laughter, love, and joy back into peoples lives when the world seemed to snuff it out.

And that.

That was was brought them their true peace.

Knowing that they, no, we would all be alright once their time was up.

Knowing they made a difference.

Knowing that we loved them and we knew they loved us.

Farewell, Unus and Annus.

Thank you for the brightening up our year when we needed it most.
