Chapter 50, after "My dear child, you've done so well."
"I am already done?" I ask.

And then I see the image of Caleb, crushed due to all guilt caused by my sacrifice. And lastly I see a large crowd of desperate people from the fringe, begging for help. I know that I am going to select a lot of pain and still more sacrifices, but I know now that this is the right way. I whisper, "I have to stay. There is so much more to be done..."

This time I know it's my mother's hand, drawing me into her arms. And I go gladly into her embrace. In the moment it is almost like I would see Caleb's eyes, but then everything gets dark.
