Rainbow dash, dead. Pinkie pie as well as eachpony except for Twilight had been getting up there in age and felt as if the tethers keeping them alive and on their hooves were near snapping at this point. Twilight had noticed them in this state of nearly perishing and was trying to spend as much time as she could with them will she could. She was ready for it to happen, and has prepared herself, so her state of grief would be shorter, but she would never forget them.

But when Fluttershy had died, she had died a few months after Rainbow, and when it happened it was fast, she didn't feel any pain. But the rest of her friends took that pain for her. Each had gotten the same amount, but Discord's amount of pain had multiplied very quickly instead of decreasing.
