: I don’t understand any of this…002.png)
: Getting this damn contraption to blow up is harder than it looks…003.png)
: Aha! I know!004.png)
005.png)
: Once!006.png)
: Twice!007.png)
: Three times!008.png)
Turvoe proceeds to jump up and down on the control panel repeatedly.

*Rumble Rumble*
: Eh? What the?! Holy crap! What’d I do, what’d I do?!011.png)

:…What? What’s going on?013.png)
: Hmm? Is there a problem, oh Queen Bitch of Highfort?: The energy from the machine is flowing back into itself…it’s going to explode!
: Huh. Doesn’t sound so bad from where I’m standing.014.png)
015.png)
: Oh, sacre bleu! The rumbling is not stopping!: It seems discretion is the better part of ‘not getting ourselves killed’! Time for us to make a strategic retreat!016.png)

: Ohshitohshitohshitoshit-019.png)

: Quickly, everyone! The whole tower is collapsing!021.png)
: Princess!!022.png)
: Ugh, that was too close…023.png)
: What’s wrong?! We really don’t have time to stand around!024.png)
:…I’ll handle this. All aboard, everyone! You too, Princess!: Hey, are you serious?
: Sten, no!025.png)
: The rest of you…take care of her!:…026.png)
027.png)
028.png)
: Hmm. Now how am I going to get out of this one…029.png)
The last tower falls just as the screen fades out.

Some time later…
Music: 12 – The Kingdom

: No need to worry about Sten, Princess. The man escaped hell itself back at Gufheim. An exploding castle oughtta be peanuts to him. : I hope you’re right, Turvoe. I sincerely hope you’re right…: I bet he’ll come crawling out of the woodwork the minute we’re about to leave.033.png)
: As a token of our appreciation, please accept this…the Master’s Flute.: You are most kind, Princess.034.png)
: I know you have been through much on our account…but I would like to make one further request of you.035.png)
: Take care of yourself. And someday…come home.: We’ll be sure to tell him, your highness.: Ah, the romance, it is flowing…I feel a song coming on. Oooooh Steeeeen, your Princess waits for you…036.png)
: May the Dragon God watch over you, always.: May he watch over us all.: I’ll show you people the way out.037.png)
038.png)
: She really does love Sten, after all…Ain’t that always the way. He makes a mess of things for everyone else, but gets the girl in the end!039.png)
The player regains control at this point.

:…Damn this place is messed up. All three towers are just plain gone.041.png)

Music: 13 – More Than Words

:…Sten. You didn’t have me fooled for a second, ya jackass monkey.: Heh, I told you he’d come back.: Guilty as charged. I’m just no good at dying, it seems.045.png)
: Myself as well. So many people died…friends, many of them…046.png)
: I’ll never forget the sight of them torn to pieces in that hellish place…: They were good men, every one. Soldiers to the end, skills honed like hunting knives…: Yes…047.png)
: Your Princess and I are gonna be waiting here for you to come back someday. Don’t screw up, or I’ll kick your ass!:…Turvoe. You’re not so bad after all!: Hmph. See ya around!048.png)
Turvoe hops off the walkway.
:…Hey, Sten. The Princess said to tell you-: It’s okay, master. I can probably guess what she said.:…:…049.png)
: I’m afraid former soldiers such as myself are somewhat…bad about that. Ohoho! So, shall we be off?:Sten…:…:…Sure. Let's get moving.050.png)
And on that somewhat sobering note, Highfort is finished. That’s it! It’s over! Finished! Done with!
Let us never, ever return to this place again.
