It had been weeks since Starlight and Trixie's night at the haunted supermarket. After Trixie went home to take a long nap, Starlight told a worried Twilight, who noticed the injection on her leg, about the events that took place at the supermarket. And of course, Twilight freaked out over it. Even though the shadow was gone, they did not take any chances.

After reporting to Celestia and Luna, due to its past of a murderer happening there, and the threat of the shadow possibly coming back, they ordered the restaurant to be shut down and immediately destroyed. And they also planned construction for the new, but smaller supermarket to be built on the same spot where the old supermarket was. Starting tomorrow.

For old times sake, Starlight, with her arm tied with bandages, walked up to the construction site. All the building materials were there already, and all that it is needed is ponies and construction machines.

She heard hoofsteps behind her. She turned and saw Trixie arriving at the place too.

"You come here too?" She asked.

Starlight nodded. "Might as well do it now before construction starts, and dust starts flying everywhere."

Chuckling, Trixie sat next to the lilac pony.

"What a time we spent here, huh?" Trixie reminisced.

"A weird time for sure." she responded.

Starlight then stared at the ground. Something came into her mind. "I can't believe it."

"Believe what?"

"That a actual murder happened here. And on a nice pony too."

"You can't be serious." Trixie looked aghast. "There is no way a shadow like him would ever be nice in real life. Or else he would have passed on peacefully."

"Fair point, but maybe in a different time, he was very different. Similar to how I was a nice filly before my hatred of cutie marks consumed me."

Trixie still looked doubtful. "I guess. But I assume that anyone who dares to harm Trixie and her friend are immediately bad in my book."

Starlight chuckled for a bit. She now turned her head to the construction site, with Trixie looking at it too. "I can't believe that a new supermarket will be here. It may be only one night, but we shared memories, plus he pushed us to the very brink. And he proved one thing."

"I agree. Having a smaller supermarket will be weird, but we'll get used to it. But," Trixie looked at her confused. "What do you mean 'he proved one thing'?"

Starlight thought for a moment with a sigh, and gave Trixie a warm smile. "That no matter what happens." she quickly wrapped a hoof around Trixie's neck. "With the power of friendship, we can face anything."

Trixie chuckled back. "Even an angry spirt?"

"Even that." She responded with a smile.

As th two continued to stare at the site, Starlight looked up at the cloudy sky. Even though what he did was wrong, Starlight still felt bad for the pony. Even if he was willing to shed Starlight and Trixie's blood.

Rage corrupted you, like how I did. She said to the cloudy skies in her mind. I hope you found peace. Just like the rest of us.

"What are you thinking about?" Trixie question interrupted Starlight's condolences in her mind.

She sighed, but she grinned a tiny bit. "Thinking about a lost soul."

Afterwards, after gazing at the construction for a moment, Starlight walked away from the site. Then Trixie followed her. It was time to leave the place behind. For the final time.
