2003 New York Alveare

I tell you, this place has great food… Although the smell of honey is just a bit too strong.

So that’s the end of the tale of Mr. Happy Ending.

Did he ever get to see the demon smile? —I don’t know.

That’s why I stopped in here, to find out. I heard a sketchy rumor that the demon’s at this restaurant.

…What gives? Your eyes just lit up.

You want to meet them? Both the demon and Elmer? Seriously?

Ha-ha, you guys really are weirdos.

Me? My name’s—Fil Nibiru, previously male. I hope we run into each other again.

Until then, I’ll be praying that all your days are happy ones.

If you do see Happy Ending, say hi to him for me.

Tell him I may not have atoned for my crimes yet, but we’re happy now.

Other folks might get mad, but I think that’ll make him happier than anything.

That’s about the only way I can pay him back, see.

Isaac and Miria, huh? Yeah, I’ll remember.

Later, then. Let’s meet up at this honey-coated place again someday.

I hope you two get a happy ending—no, a happy eternity…

Baccano! 2001—The End
