Triumphant in battle, harmony is restored to the empire. 
	Being blinded in the battle has allowed the Counselor's Son to 
	see the error of his ways. His gift to the kingdom is a 
	spectacular presentation of fireworks to illuminate and 
	unite in peace.   
	  
	The lights fade up and the Tatami Deck slides forward.  We get the 
	sense that some time has passed and we relish in the resolution of the 
	story.  The Twins are reunited with each-other, their Nursemaid and their 
	Valets.  The Empire is restored with the Twins as the rulers.  The Boy has 
	wed the Chief Archer's Daughter.  The Girl has married the Firefly Boy and 
	is now pregnant.  The Chief Archer, now dressed in a ceremonial Imperial 
	robe, presents his bow and breaks it over his knee signifying his new 
	dedication to peace. 
	A moment of tension arises as the Counselor and his son arrive at 
	the celebration.  The Son bears what looks like an explosive device.  
	However, the device is not a weapon but rather a firework.  In a glorious 
	gesture of peace and reconciliation the Counselor's son illuminates the 
	skies over the Empire with a magnificent pyrotechnic display.  The Counselor 
	and his son have realized the error of their ways and are determined to act 
	now in the name of peace.  The Death Machine rises from the void except it 
	has been converted to a beautiful spinning windmill of fire.  The Court Jester 
	emerges from behind the machine. 
	The peoples of the world of KÀ have been united, peace pervades the land and 
	the civilization can live in peace and harmony.
