->'''Ted:''' [''narrating''] I thought that I could once again play the gallant knight and defeat the evil monster. But the others were right. My character was too flawed, and all my secrets unraveled. I thought AM had hated me before. I was wrong. It was not even a shadow of the hate he now slavered from every printed circuit. [[BalefulPolymorph He made certain]] I would suffer eternally. The other four are dead, [[MercyKill finally free from their tortures]]. [[BittersweetEnding It makes me happier]]. And yet, AM has won, simply. He has taken his revenge. [[TitleDrop I have no mouth]] AndIMustScream.

->''"In my youth, many years before I took the name 'Yukari Yakumo', I had a severe fever and was forced to rest for the better part of several weeks. [...] As I slept and recovered, alternating between sane and delirious, in my mind's eye I saw a flaming blue titan that both destroyed and was dealt destruction in return. The thing that struck me most, the thing that became permanently engraved on my mind, was what would happen if that titan were to fall in battle and not get back up: The destruction of paradise, with Gensokyo vanishing into reality forever. Humanity's last hope extinguished. All of the fantastic races still in existence gone once and for all. A person I had yet to meet fading away in a flurry of sakura petals. Earth crushed within the Glorft's iron grip. Overall, a Bad Ending."''

->By the end of the Dark Crusade, Kronus was a tomb world once more. Just as the marching Necron armies cut down all their opponents, [[HostileTerraforming so did other fiendish devices work on the planet's very ecosystem]]: scarab swarms scoured the lush jungles of the south and the fertile plains of the north, while pulses of loathsome energy killed even microscopic bacteria.
