Well. Far be it from them to take hold of whatever freedom they can find.Or

Summary
[ CHAPTER 5 SPOILERS AHEAD ]
(specifically pacifist/normal route)“Kris…”
Finally, finally, you look up at her, though you can hardly bring yourself to do it. The door seems to bathe half her face in dark shadow - until she leans out, just far enough for you to see her smile. Just yesterday, it might have been enough to blow the darkness away.
“Thanks for walking me home.”
Click. The closet doors shut behind her.
* You think that whatever warmth you had went with her.
.
.
.You bolt awake, gasping and sputtering as you desperately try to breathe with lungs too weak to draw in a full breath. One hand digs into scratchy old carpet, the other clutching your chest, and your vision swims, twirling around you as darkness encroaches upon its edges. You shake your head violently, trying in vain to blink the bleariness out of your eyes.
...Was it all just a dream?

Or 'Kris has a prophetic dream about chapter 5 and decides they don't want to get cucked quite so hard'.

Summary
Things… change.
Ghost supposes that many would probably say that they get better. They do get better, don’t they? Yes, they do. Things change, and they are better. The Infection is gone, and Hollow is safe, and Hornet is happy, and so Ghost is fine. Perhaps they are selfish, and they mourn a dying world that they can never return to, and they are more alone than ever before, but they’ll get over it.
…And it’s not as if anyone will notice if they don’t.
Ghost goes back in time, kills the Radiance, and sets everything right. They tell no one, and do it on their own. It is only after their family is happy, and the kingdom is safe, and the Abyss is soothed to sleep, that they realize just how lonely it is as the last remaining piece of a future never to be.
