Now, you are in the mud. The gold of London is gone, replaced by the filth of a chicken coop. This is the final test. Here, a miracle fell from the sky, and the townspeople saw only a way to make a profit. Will you be another spectator, or will you show the compassion they lacked?

The exit is open. By choosing compassion, you have broken the cycle. Hermann died in his madness, and Dorian crumbled into dust, but you chose to let the wings fly. You have paid the price of obsession not with your soul, but with your humanity. Walk into the light.
