What Makes the Sky Blue III: 000 - Ending - Episode 3
Sandalphon awakes in what appears to be the Astral research lab's garden, where Lucifer is waiting to pour him coffee. After a peaceful interlude and some much-needed closure, Sandalphon is summoned back to the Sky Realm by his friends' voices. He awakes in midair, being rescued by (Captain) and the others.
Sandalphon: Mm... Urgh... Ugh...
Sandalphon: What... is... this place?
Sandalphon: Ah... Another dream...
???: This is no dream.
Sandalphon: ...!
Sandalphon: Luci... fer?
Lucifer: Have some coffee. It's been a long time since I could serve you one.
Sandalphon: Coffee...
Lucifer: Perhaps I'm presuming too much, assuming you still enjoy it.
Sandalphon: Ah, I... Yes. I do. Thank you...
Sandalphon: ...
Sandalphon: Ah...
Lucifer: Hahaha...
Lucifer: This is the first and last stop for every soul. A place where those burdened with sentience may rest.
Lucifer: Right now, it would seem your soul has gotten lost, and come here independent of your body.
Sandalphon: Does that mean I'm dead?
Lucifer: I don't believe so. But I do not know enough about this place to say for certain.
Lucifer: Even the space in which we now find ourselves may simply be an illusion spun from my own memories.
Lucifer: Or yours.
Sandalphon: This is no illusion.
Lucifer: How do you know?
Sandalphon: I can tell. My mind feels clearer... I know you are Lucifer.
Lucifer: Do you.
Sandalphon: Yes.
Lucifer: Then you must be Sandalphon. Did my message reach you?
Sandalphon: Yes. Lucilius's legacy, his research to bring about the end of the world, has been destroyed.
Sandalphon: I believe the four primarchs are in the process of ceding their roles to nature.
Lucifer: I see. I knew I could put my faith in you.
Lucifer: Thank you. And forgive me for placing such a heavy burden on your shoulders.
Sandalphon: ...
Sandalphon: I'm the one who should apologize, Lucifer.
Sandalphon: For the rebellion, and the cataclysms. I sowed those seeds myself.
Sandalphon: And still I blamed you, and saw only my own pain. I set the stage for the tragedy that unfolded in Canaan.
Sandalphon: Mere words could never encompass my regret...
Lucifer: You have no need to apologize to me. I was the one who overlooked your feelings of inferiority—
Sandalphon: No. I have to acknowledge my sins for what they are. I must, if I am to atone in any meaningful way.
Lucifer: Sandalphon...
Lucifer: Very well. But you must remember one thing, for my sake.
Lucifer: Even should the world deny you forgiveness, even should people throughout time look upon you with hatred, you are and always shall be my solace.
Sandalphon: Always...
Sandalphon: Thank you. I will carry those words close to my heart.
Lucifer: I'm depending on you, Supreme Primarch.
Sandalphon: Understood!
And you will always be my guiding light.
And you will always be my guiding light.
Lucifer: Hahaha...
Lucifer: Ah, your cup is running low. Would you like another?
Sandalphon: Ah... yes! Allow me! I think my technique has improved—
Vyrn: Heeey! Sandalphon! Open your eyes!
Lyria: Please! Please wake up, Sandalphon!
Sandalphon: ...
Sandalphon: Ah... Actually... I think I should be going...
Lucifer: I see...
Lucifer: Very well. I believe you know how to return to them. All you need do is spread your wings and follow your heart.
Sandalphon: Yes...
But, you know...
But, you know...
Sandalphon: Once I had kept my promise... Once I had fulfilled the task you imparted to me... I hadn't decided what I should do next.
Sandalphon: Or to be more truthful... I wanted to come join you...
Sandalphon: But now... I think...
Sandalphon: I might want to stay with my friends in the Sky Realm.
Lucifer: Good. I'll be rooting for you.
Sandalphon: Haha... You already knew how I felt, didn't you? That's why you called me your solace—to cheer me on.
Lucifer: Oh dear. So you knew that I knew.
Sandalphon: And now you know that I know that you knew what I knew. What nonsense.
Lucifer: Hahaha... But that really is how I feel.
Sandalphon: And the offer of another cup? Were you not tempting me to stay longer?
Lucifer: The heart is a bundle of contradictions.
Sandalphon: Hahaha... What are you saying?
Sandalphon: Hahaha...
Sandalphon: Well then...
I'm going out for a bit.
I'm going out for a bit.
Lucifer: All right. I'll be waiting.
Sandalphon: ...
Sandalphon: Ah... er...
It's the reverse, isn't it? It used to be me staying behind in the research lab's garden.

Lucifer: Now you're the supreme primarch, and I'll be the one to await your return.
Sandalphon: You might find yourself growing restless... I recommend cultivating the coffee trees.
Lucifer: I'll give that a try.
Sandalphon: ...
Sandalphon: I'm going out for a bit...
Lucifer: I'll be waiting.
Sandalphon: ...!
Sandalphon: I'm going out for a bit!
Lucifer: I'll be waiting.
Sandalphon: ...!
Lucifer: ...
Lucifer: I'll be waiting...
You used to say that to me almost every day.
You used to say that to me almost every day.
Lucifer: I think now... I might just understand how you felt in that shaded garden, all those years.
Lucifer: Till next we meet, Sandalphon.
Sandalphon: Nh? Is this... the Sky Realm?
Vyrn: Hey! Sandalphon came to!
Lyria: Sandalphon! You have to hold on tighter!
Sandalphon: ...!
When the dimensional rift blinked out of view, Sandalphon reappeared, unconscious, and resumed his fall through empty space.
In desperation, (Captain) and the others boarded the Nightcypher to catch up to him.
The hand which once shoved (Captain) into the yawning void is now clasped tightly in the captain's.
Sandalphon: (Captain)! Why would you come after me at a time like this!
Sandalphon: Why...
Sandalphon: I belong? Hahaha, I can't believe you...
Choose: I'm dying for a coffee.
Sandalphon: Hahaha... You threw yourself overboard in a flightless ship just for coffee? You may have a caffeine problem...
Choose: Your fingers are delicate...
Sandalphon: Th-this again!
Sandalphon: Is this the time for jokes? For a moment I thought you were finally going to take your revenge!

Vyrn: Ahaha! I'll signal the Grandcypher!
Lyria: Right! Let's all go home!
Sandalphon: Yes...
Sandalphon: Let's go home!
