As the portal back to their world opened, Weiss addressed the team. "You've done well. Your strength and unity have brought an end to this nightmare."
Ayame nodded, a sense of relief washing over her. "We couldn't have done it without you, Weiss. Thank you."
Weiss smiled, a rare expression of warmth. "The true credit goes to all of you. You completed a grueling training arc and emerged stronger."
One by one, they stepped through the portal, returning to the Windesburg Hotel. The once dark and foreboding atmosphere was now clear and calm, a testament to their victory.
As they regrouped in the hotel lobby, Ayame turned to her team. "We did it. We've freed the souls and ended Maverick's reign."
Kuroneko, looking at his grimoire, nodded. "But our journey isn't over. We have more to discover, more to learn."
Bianca added, "And we need to be ready for whatever comes next. This victory is just the beginning."
