The Batter proceeds through The Room. He knows he has to ask, but he's afraid of the answer. Him and Zachrie were best friends before all this. It would be a shame to lose that.

The duo reach the point of no return in silence. The King finally asks.

"So," he asks, "we still freinds or..."

Zachrie bursts out laughing.

"Of course mi amigo," he smugly chuckles, "I just wanted you to sweat about it a little bit."

"Uhh... Zachrie, spectres don't sweat."

"Oh? How odd. Anyways, your family is waiting for you. Go, my friend, as I deliver Sugar the wonderful news."

The King goes to return to his Queen.

"You speak the truth?" The Queen asks.

"Yes," Enoch replies, "The King has returned. Japhet and Dedan claim the same as I do. Oh, look at that, there he is now!"

The King walks up to The Queen. Neither of them or sure what to say to the other.

"So," The Queen breaks the tense silence, "you're back."

"Yes," The King replies.

"How long has it been?"

"Years."

"Shall I inform our son?"

"I wanna surprise him, but first, there's something I wanna say to you."

The King takes The Queen on his arms. It is a long Awaited Embrace.

"I missed you," The King explains, "It's good to see you again."

The Queen hugs him back. "It's good to see you to, my King. Let's go, our son is waiting."

The duo proceed towards Hugo's room. They enter the room. Hugo sits, to shocked to speak.

The Batter hugs Hugo. "I'm here," he explains, "from now on there shall be no more darkness. Happy birthday, my son."

"Welcome back," Hugo smiles, "dad."

"Well," The Batter puts Hugo down, "I'd love to stay, but I still gotta fix the Zones. I've been slacking on in taking care of the spectres. I will return when I have taken care of them all. Until then..." The Batter heads towards the door, "keep a Peppered Steak in the fridge for me."

The King heads to Zone 1 and begins to hunt down the spectres. One by one...

           ...Six Months Later...

The King slays the last spectre in Zone 3. Sugar production has slowed to a crawl. Elesens use sugar only on very rare occasions now. Most workers have been sent to Zone 1, to lighten the work load. Meanwhile, Japhet has taught those in Zone 2 to not only be brave, but how to face any new spectres that pop up.

The King smiles, all the Zones are fixed, there are minimum spectres if any, those in Zone 1 aren't overworked, those in Zone 2 aren't afraid, and neither is Sugar who has also kicked her addiction like those in Zone 3. The Judge keeps an eye on things to keep everything in check.

The King returns home, the smell of Peppered Steak is fills the air. He smiles, all is well in his world. He did it. He fixed his world.

The Batter looks up at the sky and smiles.

"My kingdom," he smiles, "is now TRULY pure."

        ...The Switch is Still ON...
