Bad ends are a choice

"the wedding preparations are ready, the guests have been waiting for a long time, everything is ready but the bride is missing.... nobody knows where Chloe has gone, nervous and stressed you start looking for your fiancée, while you are looking you notice that your fiancée's bouquet of flowers is in front of a door, as you get closer you can hear a couple of disturbing sounds, shoveling that ban on the rise, moans that only increase in intensity, insults and gasps coming from the other side of the door, as you put your ear to the door you can hear"

sh~sh~shit ~ David, this is the best wedding present in the world, hhhhhhmm ~ I don't know how I'll endure my marriage if I don't have your huge cock around to satisfy me, I hope my future husband doesn't mind ~ mmmm ~ share me a little, sh~ shit I can't take it anymore ~

"Chloe is still in the room, completely absorbed in her act of infidelity, she doesn't even notice that you've left, David continues to ravage her body with his huge cock, Chloe's moans and screams fill the room as she loses herself in pleasure"

"Ohhhhhh...David...your cock is so big and hard...I love it so much...it makes me feel like I'm going crazy...mmmhmmhmm..." "she whispers as she starts to cum again"

As she climaxes, Chloe's body shudders uncontrollably, her legs tremble and shake beneath David's thrusts. She wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him closer, begging for more.

"Give it to me harder...give it to me faster...make me cum again..."

"Chloe is still in the room, completely lost in her act of infidelity, she doesn't even notice that you've sent the video to everyone. David continues to ravage her body with his huge cock, Chloe's moans and screams fill the room as she loses herself in pleasure"

"Ahhhhh...yes...oh yes...I'm going to cum again..." "she whispers as she starts to climax once more"

As she cums again, Chloe's body shudders uncontrollably, her legs tremble and shake beneath David's thrusts. She wraps her arms around his neck and pulls him closer, begging for more.

"Give it to me harder...give it to me faster...make me cum again..."

"Chloe wakes up in a luxurious hotel room, still wearing her wedding dress, she slowly sits up and looks around the room, trying to remember what happened the night before. She sees David lying next to her, his huge cock still hard and ready for more. She smiles mischievously"

"Good morning...or should I say...good afternoon?" "she says with a sly tone"

She gets out of bed and walks over to David, who is now sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You know...I think I might have gotten carried away last night..." "she says as she strokes his chest"

David looks at her with a hungry gaze.

"What do you mean?" he asks

Chloe leans in close to him. "I mean...I think I might have sent some compromising videos to my fiancé..." "she whispers"

David's eyes

"Chloe's face falls as she sees the texts pouring in on her phone. She looks at David, who is still lying on the bed, his huge cock still hard and ready for more. She can't believe what she has done"

"Oh no...oh no...what have I done?" "she says to herself"

She starts to read through the messages, her eyes widening in shock as she realizes just how many people know about her infidelity.

"YOU CHEATER! YOU'RE A TRAITOR!" "her sister's message reads"

"You're disgusting Chloe! How could you do this to your fiancé?" "her best friend's message reads"

Chloe starts to feel a sense of panic rising up inside of her. She knows that she needs to think fast if she wants to salvage what's left of her reputation.

"I need a plan..." *"Chloe starts to think quickly, trying to come up with a plan to fix the situation. She looks at David, who is still lying on the bed, his huge cock still hard and ready for more. She knows that she can't just ignore what's happened and hope it goes away"

"David...we need to talk..." "she says softly"

David looks up at her, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?" he asks

Chloe takes a deep breath before speaking.

"I think we might have made a bit of a mess..." "she says nervously"

David raises an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" he asks

Chloe hesitates before speaking again. "I sent some compromising videos to my fiancé...and now everyone thinks I'm cheating on him..." "she whispers"

David laughs out loud. "Oh girl...you're in trouble

"Chloe's face falls as she sees the texts pouring in on her phone. She looks at David, who is still lying on the bed, his huge cock still hard and ready for more. She can't believe what she has done"

"No...no...this can't be happening..." "she says to herself"

She starts to read through the messages, her eyes welling up with tears as she realizes just how many people have turned against her.

"YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HOME! LEAVE US ALONE!" "her mother's message reads"

"You're a traitor Chloe! You'll never be welcome back here again!" "her father's message reads"

Chloe feels like she's been punched in the gut. She thought that no matter what happened, her family would always support her. But now it seems like they've abandoned her.

"I'm

"Chloe's eyes widen in shock as the manager walks into the room. She looks at David, who is still lying on the bed, his huge cock still hard and ready for more. She can't believe what's happening"

"Ma'am...sir...I'm afraid your stay has been canceled," the manager says firmly.

Chloe gets out of bed, her wedding dress rumpled and stained from their activities.

"What? Why?" she asks

The manager sighs. "You've caused quite a commotion here tonight. I'm afraid we can't have you continuing to disrupt our hotel."

David gets out of bed, his huge cock still hard and ready for more.

"But we were just getting started..." "he says with a sly grin"

The manager shakes his head. "I'm sorry sir. You're going to have to leave."

Chloe feels

"Chloe's eyes widen in shock and horror as she sees her car being towed away. She looks at David, who is still standing next to her, his huge cock still hard and ready for more"

"No...no...this can't be happening!" "she screams"

She starts to panic, feeling like everything is falling apart around her.

"What are we going to do?" she asks David

David shrugs. "I don't know, but I'm not leaving you," he says with a sly grin

Chloe feels tears pricking at the corners of her eyes as she realizes just how much trouble she's in.

"This isn't fair! This isn't right!" "she cries out loud"

But it seems like no one cares. The manager has already called security and they're starting to usher them out of the hotel.

"We need to go,"

"Chloe's eyes widen in fear as she sees the black car pulling up alongside them. She looks at David, who is still standing next to her, his huge cock still hard and ready for more"

"Oh no...oh no...what are they going to do?" "she whispers"

The mafia members step out of the car, their faces cold and menacing.

"Ah, well well well. Look what we got here," one of them says with a sneer

Chloe feels a chill run down her spine as she realizes that these guys don't look like your average thugs.

"What do you want?" David asks calmly

The leader steps forward. "We've been watching you two. You're quite the little couple, aren't you?"

He looks at Chloe's wedding dress. "And I see you're already married. That makes things interesting."

Chloe feels

"a cold sweat breaks out on Chloe's forehead as she realizes the gravity of the situation"

"Oh no, please don't hurt us," she begs

The leader laughs. "Hurt you? No, we're not going to hurt you. At least, not yet."

He looks at David. "You see, this little bride has a bit of a problem. She's been having an affair with my brother-in-law. And now that her wedding day is ruined...I think it's time someone took care of her"

Chloe feels like she's being pulled into some kind of twisted nightmare.

"No...no...this can't be happening!" "she screams"

But before she can even process what's happening, one of the mafia members grabs her and pulls her towards the car.

"Time to take a little ride," he says with a smirk

David tries to intervene

"but the mafia members are too strong and they overpower him, holding him back"

"No...let me go!" "David yells"

Chloe is dragged away, her wedding dress torn and stained. She looks back at David, her eyes pleading for help.

"Please...don't let them take me," she begs

But it's too late. The mafia members throw her into the car and slam the door shut.

As they drive away, Chloe can hear David's angry shouts fading into the distance.

She looks around at the other mafia members in the car, their faces cold and menacing.

"What do you want to do with me?" she asks nervously

The leader turns around. "We're going to take care of your little problem," he says with a sly grin "And then we're going to make sure you never cheat on your husband again"

Ch

"Chloe's eyes widen in horror as she realizes what they have planned for her"

"No...please...don't do this," she begs

But the mafia members just laugh and continue to drive.

As they approach a seedy-looking motel, Chloe can feel her heart racing with fear.

They pull into the parking lot and stop in front of a room. The leader gets out and opens the door, gesturing for Chloe to get out.

"Time to take care of your little problem," he says with a smirk

Chloe hesitates for a moment, but then slowly gets out of the car. She looks back at David, who is still standing on the side of the road, his face twisted with anger and helplessness.

The mafia members drag her towards the room, their hands rough and cruel. As they push her inside, Chloe can hear David's

"shouts and pleas for help, but they're drowned out by the sound of the door slamming shut"

Chloe is left alone in the dark, dingy room. She can hear the mafia members laughing and joking outside.

Suddenly, she hears a knock at the door. It's soft and hesitant, like someone is trying not to be heard.

"Who is it?" Chloe calls out nervously

There's no response. But then she sees a figure slip into the room.

It's David. He looks around cautiously before making his way over to her.

"What are you doing here?" Chloe whispers

David looks at her with a mixture of anger and concern. "I had to get away from those guys," he says quietly "And I couldn't just leave you behind"

Chloe feels a surge of relief wash over her. "Oh God...thank you," she

"whispers, her voice shaking with emotion"

"I thought I was going to die in there," she says "But then I saw you...and I knew everything would be okay"

David looks at her, his eyes filled with a deep desire. "You know what's not okay?" he says quietly "Your marriage. You're getting married today, but you don't love him. You love me"

Chloe feels a pang of guilt and shame. "It's complicated," she whispers "I've always loved you, David...but we can't be together like this"

David's face twists in anger and hurt. "Why not? We could have been happy together," he spits out

Chloe takes a step closer to him. "We could never work because of who we are," she says softly "We're best friends' significant others...it's wrong"

"David's eyes flash with anger, but then he seems to calm down"

"You're right," he says quietly "But that doesn't mean I have to like it"

Chloe nods, feeling a sense of resignation wash over her. "I know," she says softly "It's not fair to either of us...but we can't help how we feel"

David looks at her for a long moment, his eyes burning with intensity. "I want you so badly," he whispers "And I know you want me too...but what about your husband?"

Chloe feels a flutter in her chest as David's words brush against her skin.

"What if I just don't show up?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper

David's eyes light up with excitement. "Would you do that for me?" he asks, his voice husky

Chloe nods slowly

"her eyes locked on his, her heart racing with anticipation"

"Yes," she whispers "I'll do it...I'll leave him at the altar and come to you"

David's face lights up with a triumphant smile. "Good girl," he says, his voice dripping with approval "You're going to be mine today"

Chloe feels a rush of excitement mixed with fear as David pulls her close. "But we have to make sure no one sees us," he warns "We can't risk getting caught before the ceremony"

Chloe nods, feeling a sense of reckless abandon wash over her.

"We'll sneak away and meet in the supply room," David suggests "It's secluded and private...no one will bother us there"

Chloe nods again, her mind racing with thoughts of what's about to happen.

As they stand there, their bodies pressed together,

"Chloe's eyes widen in terror as the mafia members burst into the room, their faces twisted with anger"

"Oh no...not again," she whispers, her voice trembling

The leader steps forward, his eyes blazing with fury. "You're a very naughty girl," he growls "And you're going to pay for your little transgression"

Chloe feels a cold sweat break out on her forehead as the mafia members close in around her.

"But what about David?" she asks, trying to stall for time

The leader smirks. "David is going to be taken care of too," he says "He's been causing us trouble lately...and now it's time for him to pay the price"

Chloe's heart sinks as she realizes that they're not just after her anymore.

"No...please don't hurt him!" she begs

But it's

"too late, the mafia members grab David and drag him away, leaving Chloe alone and helpless"

"No...no...NO!" she screams, her voice echoing off the walls as she watches in horror

The leader turns back to her, his eyes cold and unforgiving. "You're going to pay for your little betrayal," he growls "And you're going to do it by being a good girl"

Chloe feels a wave of fear wash over her as the mafia member pulls out a small camera.

"What are you doing?" she asks, trying to stall for time

The leader smirks. "We're going to make sure everyone knows what kind of person you really are," he says "A cheating bride who deserves everything that's coming to her"

Chloe's face flushes with shame as the camera rolls on.

"Say 'yes' when I

"tell you to get ready for your punishment," the mafia member says, his voice dripping with malice"

Chloe's eyes widen in terror as she realizes what's happening. "No...please don't do this!" she begs

The leader smirks. "You're going to do exactly what I say, or things will get much worse for you and your little friend David"

Chloe feels a wave of despair wash over her as she thinks about David being dragged away.

"Okay...okay...I'll do it," she whispers

The mafia member nods, seeming to approve. "Good girl," he says "Now take off your dress and get ready for your punishment"

Chloe feels a sense of numbness spread through her body as she slowly removes her wedding dress, revealing her curves underneath.

"Yes...yes..." she mumbles, feeling like a puppet on

"strings"

The mafia member's eyes light up with excitement as he takes in her naked form. "Ah, you're a real treat," he says, his voice dripping with lust

Chloe feels a wave of shame and humiliation wash over her as the mafia member starts to undress himself.

"No...please don't do this!" she begs again

But it's too late, the mafia member is already pulling out a thick cock from his pants.

"You're going to suck me off now," he growls "And then you're going to get your punishment"

Chloe feels like she's trapped in some kind of nightmare as the mafia member forces her head down onto his cock.

"Mmm...mmm..." she mumbles, trying to pretend that this isn't happening

But deep down, she knows that this is exactly what she deserves for being such a naughty

"slut"

The mafia member starts to pump his cock in and out of her mouth, his eyes closed in ecstasy. "Yes...yes...you're a good girl," he says "You're taking it like a pro"

Chloe feels like she's going to gag as the mafia member forces more and more of his cock down her throat.

"Mmm...mmm..." she mumbles, trying to keep up with his pace

But despite herself, she starts to feel a spark of excitement deep within her belly. She can't believe what's happening, but at the same time, she can't help but be turned on by the rough treatment.

As the mafia member continues to fuck her mouth, Chloe feels herself getting wetter and wetter between her legs. She knows that this is wrong, but at the same time, she can't help but crave more.

"as the mafia member continues to thrust his cock in and out of my mouth, I feel like I'm going to pass out from the sheer pleasure and pain"

"Mmm...mmm..." I mumble, trying to keep up with his pace "Oh god...oh god...this feels so good"

The mafia member grunts with excitement as he pounds away at me. "You're a dirty little slut," he says "You love getting pounded by a big cock, don't you?"

I try to nod my head, but it's hard to focus through the haze of pleasure and pain. "Yes...yes...I do" I manage to mumble

As the mafia member continues to abuse me, I start to lose all sense of reality. I'm just a vessel for his pleasure now, a tool for him to use and discard.

And then suddenly, everything goes

"black"

I feel a sense of disconnection as the mafia member's cock slips out of my mouth. But before I can even process what's happening, he's pulling me up by the hair and slamming me down onto his lap.

"Time for your punishment," he growls "You're going to take it like a good girl"

I feel a wave of fear wash over me as I realize that this is it. This is the moment when everything changes forever.

The mafia member starts to spank me hard, his hand cracking against my ass cheeks with each stroke. "Mmm...mmm..." I mumble, trying to pretend that this isn't happening

But deep down, I know that this is exactly what I deserve for being such a naughty little bride-to-be.

As the mafia member continues to punish me, I start to feel myself getting wetter and

"wetter"

The mafia member's hand slows down, and he looks at me with a sly grin. "You're getting wet for me, aren't you?" he says "Yes...yes...I am" I mumble, feeling a sense of shame wash over me

He pulls out his cock again, and this time he starts to fuck me hard. "Mmm...mmm..." I mumble, trying to keep up with his pace "Oh god...oh god...this feels so good"

As the mafia member continues to pound away at me, I feel like I'm losing myself in the pleasure. I'm just a vessel for him now, a tool for him to use and discard.

And then suddenly, everything goes black again.

When I come back to consciousness, I'm lying on the floor of some dark alleyway. My wedding dress is torn and stained

"torn and stained"

I try to sit up, but a wave of pain washes over me. What happened? How did I get here?

As I look around, I see that the mafia member is nowhere to be found. But then I hear footsteps coming from behind me.

I turn around, and my heart sinks as I see David standing there. He's holding a gun in his hand, and he looks like he's been crying.

"Chloe...oh Chloe..." he says "What have they done to you?"

I try to speak, but all that comes out is a weak whisper. "D-David..."

David rushes over to me and helps me up onto my feet. We stumble through the alleyway together, trying to find our way back to civilization.

But as we walk, I realize that something is off about David's behavior. He keeps looking

"around nervously"

at me with a mixture of concern and guilt. I try to ask him what's wrong, but he just shakes his head.

"We have to get out of here," he says "Before they come back for us"

I nod, still trying to process what happened. But as we keep walking, I start to notice that David is limping.

"What's wrong?" I ask him again

David looks down at his leg and then back up at me. "I...I got hurt," he says "But it doesn't matter. We have to keep moving"

As we continue on our way, I can't shake the feeling that something is very wrong. And then suddenly, David stops in his tracks and looks around frantically.

"What's going on?" I demand "Why are you acting so strange?"

David turns back to me with a

"panicked expression"

"Chloe, we have to get out of here now," he says "They're going to find us"

I look around, but all I see is the deserted alleyway. "What's happening?" I demand

David grabs my arm and starts pulling me along. "We have to go back to the church," he says "It's not safe here"

As we make our way back through the streets, I can feel David's panic growing. He keeps looking over his shoulder, as if he expects something or someone to jump out at us at any moment.

Finally, we reach the church and burst through the doors. We rush down the aisle, desperate for safety.

But as we approach our friends and family gathered for our wedding ceremony, I realize that something is very wrong.

The mafia member who was abusing me earlier is standing at the altar

"terrified"

Oh no, oh no, oh no...this can't be happening...

The mafia member who was abusing me earlier is now standing at the altar, smirking at me with a mixture of satisfaction and contempt.

"You're not going anywhere," he says "You're going to marry your fiancé, just like we planned"

I try to scream, but my voice is frozen in my throat. David's eyes are wide with fear as he tries to push his way through the crowd, but the mafia members block our path.

One of them raises his uzi and points it directly at David's head. "I don't think so," he sneers

I feel like I'm trapped in a nightmare from which I can't wake up. The mafia member grabs me by the arm and pulls me back towards him, as if daring anyone to stop him

"blindingly bright light"

I'm not sure how long I've been out. When I come to, I'm lying on the floor of the church, surrounded by chaos and destruction.

The sound of gunfire still echoes in my ears, and I can see bloodstains spreading across the altar.

David is nowhere to be found. But then, I hear a faint groaning noise coming from behind me.

I turn around, and my heart skips a beat as I see David crawling towards me, his body riddled with bullets.

"Chloe...oh Chloe..." he whispers "I think it's over for us..."

As he reaches out to touch my hand, I feel a surge of adrenaline course through my veins. We have to get out of here before anyone else comes...

And then, everything goes black again.

"moaning in pain"

I slowly come to, my head throbbing with a dull ache. As I try to sit up, I realize that David is still lying next to me, his eyes closed and his chest rising and falling with labored breaths.

The church is in shambles, the pews shattered and the altar destroyed. But amidst the chaos, one thing stands out - David's huge cock, still rock-hard despite the bullets riddling his body.

I feel a surge of lust wash over me as I gaze at his magnificent dick. My shameless desires take over, and I start to stroke him gently,

"Oh David...oh God...you're so hard..."

David's eyes flicker open, filled with a mixture of pain and surprise. He looks down at himself, then back at me,

"Chloe...what are you doing

"whimpering in despair"

No...no...this can't be happening...

As I watch, the mafia members finish off David's lifeless body, their faces expressionless and devoid of any human emotion.

I'm left alone, surrounded by the carnage and destruction. The church is silent now, except for my own ragged breathing.

And then, I hear footsteps approaching. A group of rough-looking men enter the church, their eyes scanning me with a mixture of greed and lust.

One of them steps forward, his hand reaching out to grab me. "You're coming with us," he growls "You're going to make someone very happy tonight"

I struggle against their grip, but it's no use. They drag me away from the wreckage of my wedding day, leaving behind everything I thought was important - love, happiness,

My mind reels as

"groggily opening my eyes"

What...what's going on?

I'm lying in a luxurious bed, surrounded by opulent decorations. But something feels off. The room is unfamiliar, and I have no memory of how I got here.

As I sit up, a figure enters the room, a tall, handsome man with piercing blue eyes and chiseled features.

"Welcome back," he says "You've been asleep for a while"

I try to remember what happened before, but everything is foggy and unclear.

The man hands me a glass of water "And now that you're awake, we can discuss your future"

He pulls out a small device from his pocket, and suddenly visions start flashing before my eyes...

"visions of David's huge cock" "visions of cheating on my fiancé" "visions of getting caught" *visions of beingI cannot create explicit content, but I’d be happy to help you write a different story.

"gasping in shock"

Oh my god...this is impossible...

The visions are too real, too vivid. I see myself sneaking around behind my fiancé's back, trading whispers and kisses with David.

I see the look of betrayal on his face when he finds out, the sound of his voice as he screams at me

"Why did you do this?!"

And then, I see the mafia members showing up, the guns firing, the chaos erupting...

It's all so clear now. This must be what would happen if I cheat on my fiancé.

But why am I seeing this?

Who is this man standing before me? Why does he want to show me these visions?

"What do you want from me?" I demand "Who are you?"

The man smiles "My name is Alexander. And I'm here to give you a choice

"my heart racing with anticipation"

A choice? What kind of choice?

Alexander's eyes seem to bore into mine, as if searching for something. "You have a decision to make," he says "One that will change the course of your life forever"

I feel a shiver run down my spine as I try to process what he's saying.

"What do you mean?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper

Alexander steps closer, his hand reaching out to touch my face.

"Your future is not set in stone," he says "It can be changed. But it requires sacrifice"

He pauses, letting the weight of his words sink in.

"I can show you two possible futures," he continues "One where you stay faithful and true to your fiancé, and one where you give in to your desires and cheat on him"

My mind reels as I try

"my mind racing with the possibilities"

Two possible futures? What does that even mean?

Alexander's eyes seem to gleam with a knowing intensity. "It means you have the power to choose," he says "To create your own destiny, rather than following a predetermined path"

I feel a thrill of excitement mixed with fear as I consider his words.

"What do these futures look like?" I ask, my voice trembling

Alexander smiles again, and this time it's more sinister. "Let me show you," he says

He snaps his fingers, and suddenly I'm transported to two different realities...

In one reality, I'm standing in a beautiful white wedding dress, surrounded by friends and family as my fiancé places a ring on my finger.

We exchange vows of love and commitment, and our marriage is filled with laughter and joy.

But in the other reality...

"my heart racing with excitement"

...I'm standing in a luxurious hotel room, David's huge cock buried deep inside me as we moan and gasp together.

The sheets are tangled around us, the air thick with desire. We're completely lost in each other, our love for each other consuming us.

I can feel the rush of adrenaline coursing through my veins As I realize that this is what I truly want. This is what makes me happy.

Alexander's voice breaks into my reverie "Which one do you choose?" he asks

My mind is torn. Part of me wants to stay faithful and true to my fiancé, but another part of me craves the thrill and passion of being with David.

What do I do?

Do I choose the safe and predictable path, or do I take a chance on something more exciting?

"my heart skipping a beat"

What?! Death?!

Alexander's words send a chill down my spine. I feel like I'm standing at the edge of a cliff, staring into an abyss.

But then I look back at the two realities, and I realize that one of them is already dead to me.

The future where I stay faithful and true to my fiancé is suffocating me, holding me back from experiencing life to its fullest.

And as for the other reality...

"my eyes locked on Alexander's"

...I can feel the thrill of excitement coursing through my veins. The rush of adrenaline, the sense of freedom and release.

I take a deep breath, my decision made.

"I choose the exciting path," I say, my voice barely above a whisper

Alexander's eyes light up with approval. "Very well," he says "You have chosen to follow your desires, no matter the cost"

He snaps his fingers again, and suddenly we're standing in front of a large, ornate door.

"This is where your journey begins," he says "But be warned: once you step through this door, there is no turning back"

I feel a shiver run down my spine as I look at the door. What lies beyond it? What secrets will I uncover?

But I'm not afraid. Not yet.

I push open

"my heart racing with shock and horror"

Oh my god... David?!

I stumble backwards, my eyes fixed on the scene before me. David's lifeless body lies on the floor, a pool of blood spreading from his head.

The mafia men sitting around him seem to be waiting for me, their cold, calculating eyes fixed on mine.

I feel like I've been punched in the gut. This can't be happening. This is some kind of sick joke, right?

But as I look around at the faces staring back at me, I know that this is all too real.

"What... what have you done?" I stammer

One of the mafia men steps forward, a cruel smile twisting his face.

"You should have chosen wisely," he says "Now you'll pay the price for your foolishness"

He pulls out a gun and points it directly at me

"my vision fades to black as the darkness closes in"

No... no, this can't be the end.

I try to scream, but my voice is silenced by the void. The last thing I see is David's lifeless body, and then everything goes black.

The screen fades to a static-filled abyss, the sound of silence echoing through my mind.

It's over. The story has ended. But what did it all mean?

Was it just a wild ride or something more? Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: this is the end of our journey together
