   Summary

   "I'm begging you! It can't end like this! I can't just... go. I have to do better, I have to save them all!"
   Old Man Consequences was fed up with this soul. So fed up.

   Or:

   The soul of Michael Afton won't rest, no matter what Old Man Consequences tells him. So, the being finally realizes, the only way to fulfill this soul is to grant his wish and turn back time.
