So...terrified.

If this is Elan's happy ending...he could die now, and the prophecy would be fulfilled.

"Will this story have a happy ending?"

"Yes for you at least."

Elan would die happy, filling out all of his dreams, and doing everything he wanted. Not to mention this strip would be so much sadder if somehow he couldn't make it out of the illusion.

Elan you can't just stand around waiting for that prophecy. You have to out and make it happen.
