S2 Epilogue

S2 has survivor epilogues instead of one big one. They're all included in the S2 survivors pages, but here's all of them together.

Jamie's Epilogue

It's been 7 years since the murders. Jamie barely survived. During that time, he moved away from Markwye and became a reporter in New York. He was chasing his dreams. All of the violence and gore was behind him. He did a lot of stories about the murders, his podcast, and the killers. It was hard for him to talk to the other survivors, he never answered the calls. It was just too much for him. But talking to concerned housewives and old grandpas as a news reporter wasn't that hard. When he looked at one of Jason's horror books, he instantly thought of the pain. When he looked at the camera, he talked to people who had no idea. He couldn't explain it, it just made him feel better.

Now that 7 years have passed, Jamie is rich enough to not have to worry about money. He lived in a nice house and had a successful career. But he went to therapy two times a week and cut the other survivors off. He could never go back to Markwye. He would never be able to look at a mask the same way either. His history of blackmail, secrets, and lying was hidden and Jamie gave it all up. He wouldn't let that drag him down. Now he never acknowledges his dark past and the fact that he's a survivor. He's just a cute news reporter. But deep down....he knows that he's always going to be scarred.

Astoria's Epilogue

Shortly after being released from the hospital, Astoria held a week-long candlelight vigil for all of the deceased. She invited the entire town, or whoever was left, and sent the candles down the river. For the rest of the 2 years she stayed in Markwye, she attended therapy sessions alongside took up the job of making sure the graves of those who passed were looked after. Eventually, she decided that it was time to let go, so she moved out with her mother. Up to this point, she kept in close contact with the other survivors except for Jamie, as he had cut off ties. However, she still watched him when he reported events on the news. After moving to a larger city, she often took the time to visit the rest of them, always happy to see the others. However, every year on the anniversary of the carnival, Astoria traveled back to Markwye to clean up the graves and reflect on her past. She also gets batshit drunk on this day, but we don't talk about that. Eventually, she starts writing and singing songs about the people she's lost, her most common subjects being Renee and Elizabeth. She thought of writing music as an outlet for her, and also sung about many of the others. Songs about finding happiness were about Tiffani and Jason, and Tiffani's new baby. Songs about close companionship written about Matthew. Songs about letting go were for Jamie. And for Renee? Songs about a lost lover. The events of Markwye were something that Astoria Rin could never forget.

--- Matthew's Epilogue

After coming out of that room covered in blood, Matthew had to make some choices He called up his mom and dad, telling them everything and asking to move back in with them until he manages to get another house somewhere else Before moving away, he attended what would be the honoring of those who died, something organized by Astoria And speaking of her, he especially kept in touch with her and visited often. If there was someone who could comfort her, it was him And who knows, things could grow between them in the future... As for Tiff and Jason, he usually texted and/or called them to check up on them. As shocked as he was when he found out about the baby, he remained supportive and wished her the best Jamie cutting them off was annoying but understandable. If Matt was being honest, he was this close to doing the same. He wished him the best in his career Speaking of careers, Matt finally decided he would find one, after finishing some studies first And at night after that day, he would always get his laptop and write nonstop About what? All the pain and emotions he's suppressing. Yes, he avoided therapy, but this was how he wanted it Who knows.... Might publish them in the future.... One sure thing, Matthew would not forget. No one ever could....
