[He closes his eyes and lets out a long, rough hum of contemplation. What did that even mean? It didn't make sense. Unless...

Unless.

Ash opens his eyes before walking right up at the birds, his gaze fully staring straight into theirs.]

Humans haven't truly disappeared. So long as there is will and determination, so long as there is hope-- they will keep laughing, crying, raging...they will live.
