The title of this episode is "Leave No Man Behind." It is the final battle scene of the mock epic poem. If someone had known how to do what Priest does for Raymond when Ashli Babbit was dying, she would have lived. Instead, the entire circumstance was a tragedy, but that is the calling of the muses Melpomene and Calliope. Although it does seem that Thalia had her influences on occasion, the entire tone of the poem is tragic. At the end of an epic poem, there is a poetic device called deus ex machina, which translated means machinery of the gods. The helicopter is just that in this case. Of course, this is the end, of the story. There is actually a Part Three for this series, but I might not finish it if there is no popularity for this one. This episode will be released simultaneously with the Epilogue on January 6, 2024 to commemorate the event. I would dedicate this poetic work to Ashli Babbitt, but I already dedicated it to my parents, who were the first to read these poems on December 20, 2020. They thought I was crazy until after 6 January 2021, a few weeks later.Music credits: Burlesque Heart by RKVC, and Almonds and Olives by Aaron Lieberman.
