It has been a month since Nick has been out of the Granite Hills Memorial Hospital, Nick has purchased a house on the same block as "The Arctic After Dark" that had burned down, the group likes to visit Nick because he tells stories of how he was in the Army. Nick has taken a liking to the group and has decided this place was going to be his home.
"Nick, what made you decide that this place should be your home?" asks Nicholas.
"I just saw that without that corruption this place had a heart of gold." Replies Nick.
"Do you think we could find out what caused the corruption?" asked Jackson
"I have done some research and the restaurant was built with a tunnel underneath, some occultists used it to summon that spirit, and that caused the curse that was on this town." States Nick
"So, this town has no more evil?" asks Sunny
"Yes, that is correct this town is now cleared from evil," Nick answers.
As the group left for the day, Nick went to the service station and saw it was closed for the day, Nick went home then went to sleep.
Nick walks to the house in the distance and went inside and saw his mother.
"Nick, no matter what you will always have a heart of pure gold, have no fear, my son, you must go now," said Nick's Mother as he awoke and continued his life.
