Lyra stood at the observatory window - older, softer, still the same violet-amber eyes. A young girl stood beside her - curious, bright.

GIRL:
"Was it true? That there was once a time when people were just numbers?"
12Please respect copyright.PENANAi9IDsmlfHV
LYRA:
"It was. But that time ended."

GIRL:
"And the man who started it - Jaden Reese? Did he ever come back?"

Lyra smiled - looking out at the stars, at the lights of the world below, at the people walking freely through the valley.

"He never left. He lives in what we built. And so do you."

She placed a small, glowing rabbit symbol in the girl's palm.

LYRA:
"Remember - you are not a number. You are the story we tell."

The girl closed her hand gently around the light. And stepped forward - into her own beginning.
