Their family won some Mari and Jowee dolls on the way back from a carnival, where their car crashed and rolled into a ditch, putting Mike into a coma and although the parents appear to be dead, the director of fifth cell explained the fate of the parents is up to the player to decide. If Wilfre had succeeded in draining all the color, then Mike would stay in his coma and The Raposa would stay alive; if The Creator won, then Mike would wake up, causing the Raposa and their world to disappear. Since the Creator ends up winning, Mike wakes up in the hospital, reuniting with Heather, whose left side of her face is bandaged. | + | <tabber> |

| | + | In ''[[Drawn to Life Collection]]'', the ending cinematic was changed due to a ratings complaint. In this ending, two siblings, again Heather and Mike, are playing outside catching fireflies. Mike climbs a tree in pursuit of one of the fireflies but the limb he is standing on breaks, causing him to fall. He lies unresponsive on the ground for a few moments until he wakes up unharmed after his mother and Heather pray for him. Like the original ending, Mari and Jowee dolls can be seen in the final frame. |
