The potion worked. When I left the Clavell household, peace was restored and the no one was any wiser to what had happened.
Having dispatched the undead, I returned home
to my beloved Lisa.
"I'm so relieved you're alive!" she said.
"You make me want to live," I said. All of the sudden, Jennie's last words to me made sense. I was living again, but had to fight hard to ensure that life.
The next day, when I joined Lisa in the lab, I decided to focus less on alchemy and more on chemistry.
A short while later,
we were joined by friends and family for the happy day.
I know Jennie is looking down on us and smiling. She had, indeed, helped me remember how to live.
Some time later, there was a new life to focus on.
We named her Jennifer Magenta Clavell.
Now we just need a bigger house...
