about

In the closing chapter of the story, Kind Child and Jack are faced with 'Ruin', the longest ex-communicated member of Wedding Atlantis. He explains that he didn't reach epiphany within one month therefore was going to be sentenced to death. However he was spared his life if he agreed to operate as a taskmaster for future ex-communicated villagers.

It is revealed that if two or more villagers are cast out at the same time, only one is able to return and when meeting Ruin, they must come to a decision as to who will sacrifice themselves in order for the other/others to return to 'Heaven' (Wedding Atlantis).

Jack hands himself over to Ruin before Kind Child can interject as he believes she has overcome far too much to not return. Upon his death, Kind Child reaches epiphany and whilst carrying Jack's lifeless body back across the Bypass to the village, their beings 'patchwork' with one another in order to mend their spirits together, completing Kind Child's journey.

As Kind Child returns, she sees two more young villagers being cast out in Ground Zero and so history repeats itself.

lyrics

LYRICS -

Here our dreams are forged
This place is a secret, somebody made this
Even during it’s heyday no one would’ve known
There’s a door here, I want to show you where I was born

Drive that evil spirit through his side
He died for your sins
I see no nails

Don’t go (these are my friends)
Ripping your (he made us)
Mouth open (we made us)
Kind Child (you made us)

I wish I could take you to Wedding Atlantis
But the portal is closed
Take us back to Heaven, Jack
No, only groundzero

Heartfelt regret (come here)
Sang through a cigarette (spread the word)
Neon wrists and burning eyes (I am ready)
Maggots crawl but they’re disguised (for you now)

And now I see my friend fall to ruin again

He died for your sins
I see no nails and Heaven is closed

By salt lining and stone
I will try to mend to these holes
With patchwork I learned from you
