Tess and Krik stumble upon Nny lying on the floor. The two boys duke it out: Nny with his wit and Krik with his foot. But Johnny has just enough time left to evoke pathos. He's not ready to go. He never even got to see the monster he's been feeding for so long! Moose bursts in and takes care of Krik. He and Tess fall into the void while Johnny the Homicidal Dead Boy is last seen lying on a floating piece of floorboard. It's the end ... of the universe.
