  Summary

  Spoilers for Perfect Ritual (Denial) Ending.

  After the defeat of the Exalted Four, the astronomers have found themselves less dead than anticipated. Gifted with a humanoid form and most of their sanity through means they still don't understand, the fused quartet struggles to adapt in the aftermath.
  Despite all the odds, there are people who care about them. Despite all the odds, there is kindness in the world. They might be finding their footing for the rest of their now-shared life, but they can still pick up the pieces and make something new.

  The world has changed, and so have they.
  There's nothing for it but to live.
