-> '''Zack''': "Travis, can you hear me? Wake up!"
->[Travis does not move. His chest does not rise, like it does when he's sleeping. Zack refuses to believe that his brother is dead.]
->'''Zack''': "Come on, Travis, wake up! You're oversleeping again! You're gonna miss this month's baseball game if you don't move!"
->[Travis' mother starts sobbing. Travis' father walks forward and checks for a pulse. There is nothing.]
-> '''Travis' Father''': "He's dead, son. Travis is dead."
-> '''Zack (screaming)''': "No, he can't be! [[HeavySleeper He's just sleeping]]! He's gotta be! Come on, Travis, wake up! [[PleaseWakeUp Please, wake up]]!"
->[Travis' father tries to be strong, but it is clear that he's tearing up at the loss of his second child. He and his wife hug Zack, who breaks down screaming in tears. All around the Chosen Four, their family and friends gather to grieve and voice their losses. Upon seeing her dead daughter, Meryl's mother collapses sobbing in her husband's arms.]
-> '''Meryl's Mother (sobbing)''': "Oh Meryl, my sweet little girl..."
-> [Next to Meryl's family, Floyd's mother goes into hysterics.]
-> '''Floyd's Mother''': "He can't be dead, can he? My baby can't be dead!"
-> '''Floyd's Father''': "Dear, he must be dead! The other boy [Travis] didn't move or speak when his family talked to him!"
-> '''Floyd's Mother (screaming)''': "My baby! My poor baby!"
->[Floyd's mother tries to retrieve her son, but Floyd's father, seeing how happy his son looks, restrains her. Meanwhile, the members of Leo's motorcycle gang gather around him. Some bikers start crying. Two start hugging each other after realizing what has happened to their leader.]
-> '''Biker #1''': "Come on, boss, don't yank our chains like this! "
-> '''Biker #2''': "Yeah, boss! Who's gonna protect us from the cops?"
->[The gang's attempts to rouse their leader is stopped by another older biker, Leo's Number 2.
-> '''Biker #3''': "[[HesDeadJim He's dead, guys]]. The boss is dead. Prodding him awake won't do anything."
-> '''Biker #1''': "But who's gonna lead us now? Who's gonna keep the group together now that he's gone?"
->[Biker #3 is silent. He walks up to Leo's body, feeling thoughtful and sad. He takes note of the happiness on Leo's face, surrounded by Travis, Floyd, and Meryl.]
-> '''Biker #3 (musing)''': "Maybe the boss wasn't supposed to become a biker like us. Perhaps his destiny revolved around something far greater, and those kids he befriended..."
->[The emotion became too much for Biker #3 to hold inside. Though he made no sound, [[ManlyTears his face is wet with tears]], and his body shook. Everyone who witnessed the intense grief displayed by the Chosen Four's friends and family realized what was going on and started crying, too. Domino the family dog let out a series of long, wailing howls in mourning the loss of its young master. The howls trail up to the bright, cloudy sky.]
->[Scene cut]
->[There is a sunny meadow, full of flowers and [[GhibliHills hills with rolling grass]]. In the middle of the meadow, there is a huge tree. Sitting in its shade is a small shrine, a simple grave where, some months ago, four young friends were buried together. The shrine is littered with small gifts: A polished baseball bat with the logo of a baseball team, and a baseball autographed by a famous baseball player. A pile of books, and a jar of live pond skaters half-full with water. A small bag of money, and a newly released model of a toy race car. A pack of cigars, a black hair comb, and a silver Zippo lighter.]
-> '''Tombstone (written in hiragana)''': "Here lies four heroes, who stayed loyal to each other until the end. Although they died to save the world, they still live in the hearts of those who treasure their memory."
->[One by one, a small group would pay their respects. Three of them are families, bereft of their child. One is a motorcycle gang, now under a new leader. And at the end of the day, one by one, they would leave and carry on with their lives.]
->[Four young spirits appear standing at their grave, looking on while holding hands. Zack shivers and looks back, and gasps at the spirit of his little brother.]
-> '''Zack (whispering)''': "Travis?"
->[Travis smiles at Zack. He and his three friends wave goodbye, grinning happily as they fade away into a storm of small lights that float up into the sky. Faint laugher is heard as a gentle breeze blows past Zack like a loving hug, before Travis, Meryl, Floyd, and Leo are gone forever. Cue the screen turning black, with a message to the player.]
-> '''Travis, Meryl, Floyd, Leo''': "Thank you for being our friend and helping us on our journey! We hope to see you again soon!"

This is mostly based off the title logo, so it may just be over thinking things a bit... But the logo shows a teardrop like mini-planet forming from it.
