Each character had one more sad thing going for them, that should be mentioned. Mike had but learned who his mother was and heard her voice for a brief moment, when she was taken away from him. He also learned of his unusual, not-quite-human lineage. This likely changed his relationship to his home village and the people he grew up with. Fawn had lost her fiancée Dyluck in the final battle against Thanatos. Sprite had lost all his family and friends when his home village was slaughtered, so he was likely to lead a very lonely life in his own world. (The very last scene in the ending portrays this well, I think.) On a slightly happier note, Mike and Fawn were two newly found friends who actually lived in neighbouring villages and could now go see each other anytime. Well written.
