Secret Life Finale Spoilers

Scar, true to form, dies by a mistake.

He trips a little (falling too far), ambles long into the dark (acting too careless), stumbles against the creatures of the night (fighting too half hearted), until he dies at the hand of some mob. He doesn't even really notice, too choked by the overwhelming loneliness that had flooded his heart the moment he'd realised he'd won.

(Was this what the others felt when they won? Was this why Pearl hadn't wanted to win? Was this why Martyn had partnered with someone with a reputation for failure? Was this why Scott had blown himself up and hand victory to his soulmate?

Was this why Grian had thrown himself off that cliff?)

So Scar dies, heart heavy in his chest. When he blinks his eyes open, though, he's enveloped in a hug, the sounds of Pearl's voice in his ears. He's surrounded by the winners, halos of light and darkness at their heads. He's getting congratulations from all sides, but he can feel the tightness in Pearl's grip, the pain in Scott and Martyn's eyes, can see the way Grian can't quite look at him.

They all know this loneliness, all too well - he can see it in the darkness of their eyes. So Scar stands. He jokes and he cheers and he drags them along in hopes of seeing the others (they'd asked the others to wait at the Secretkeeper, a voice whispers in his ear, and he feels thankful that the only ones who hollowness in his chest were the ones who understand).

So when they arrive at spawn and Gem pulls Scar and Pearl into a tight hug, Scar can laugh without any pressure in his lungs. He can weather the joking outrage at his betrayals with light apologies. He can see these people he's hurt and killed and been hurt and killed by and love them because they're all his friends.

Scar, the lonely villain. Scar, the winner.
