He hardly has to think about it anymore as he resets the world, pulling himself to the correct place in time so he can kill himself again and take his place. At least he'll be seeing Edward soon again.]

[he smiles, then, even as his vision blurs with tears]
Which I'll do for you. Again. As many times as you need me to do it until you can make that decision yourself.
[he brings the gun up again]
See you soon. [and he'll fire another shot at him]

The gun fires.
Edward falls over, dead. Just like that.
...And, once again, Oswald wins the game.]
