They buried the dead in a field on the far side of Endor.
No markers.
Just a grove of trees planted from ash-mixed soil.
Mira spoke no words at the memorial.
Neither did Toren.
Some things don't need voices.
They need roots.
Back on Cindar's last bastion—underground, quiet, watching peace return—Kora flickered for the final time.

Toren stared.
Mira asked, "What will you build now?"
Toren smiled.
"Something that doesn't need me to rule it."
Years passed.
The city grew anew.
Luke visited once. Never stayed.
Leia sent messages. Acknowledged what Cindar did in silence.
But the world didn't build monuments.
It built homes.
Mira and Toren married by the garden they first rebuilt.
Tarn became minister of defense, but hated the title.
And Cindar was no longer a myth.
It was a beacon.
On a hill overlooking the city, Toren watched children play beneath skyborne lanterns.
He felt no system beneath his skin now.
No prompts.
No codes.
Just the Force.
Mira sat beside him.
"What now?"
He looked up at the stars.
"We rest."
