Instead, by discarding his death, he had finally begun to live. That hope, newly kindled within the confines of his human soul, was something he would carry to the grave.

Fin.

(Hit is performed, Dante walks down street afterwards. Months pass. No work. Dante looks for jobs. Goes crazy. Wants to fight. To kill. Cannot get hired. Goes into bar. Gets into fight. Kills everyone. Is drugged. Falls asleep. Is captured by a victim's lover. Showed his crimes, his killings. Has the demeanor of a child. Is left in the desert. End. Possible Epilogue: Dante is seen in desert, sitting atop sand-colored rock and children play at his feet. He wears a cape to conceal the spot where his arm was. One of the children asks what happened to his other arm. Dante smiles and wraps his cape tighter around him, reminded of Asia.)
