So Struggles won, since those four children of mine are defeated while I was already defeated before their fight against him even started? Struggles just looks at everyone on the ground with a darkly proud grin on his face. But... no, it's not over yet. Hope, Passion, Mnemosyne and Kawan manage to get back up and then help me get back up too. The Demon Snivy that I am comments on this: "That's how the story goes.", which makes my children react with a bit of confusion in their expressions as to what I mean exactly.

So I make stitches all across my body visible, explaining: "I had defeated my Malice and my Depression... though I'm still in the fight against my Anxiety. It's a neverending fight against all aspects of my... Struggles. You can see now that it left me metaphorically scarred, how it tore me to pieces and broke me over and over again... and yet... I stitched myself back together, got back up, kept going. That is precisely how the story goes." When Mnemosyne asks me: "But... how? How can you stitch yourself back together after being torn apart over and over again? How could you manage to always get back up? How could you... keep going even with the acknowledgement of struggles never ending?..." So I reveal it to them: "It's because of you, the four of you. You helped me through all these struggles. My hope, my passion, my memories, my friends. Hope, Passion, Mnemosyne and Kawan. Heh... talk about obvious symbolism. The four of you are my needle and thread that I used to stitch my wounds."
This makes Kawan then wonder: "Question: Yurei, Ampere, Jiyakins and Celestino have character arcs in this story, right? How come that the four of us don't seem to have that?" So I explain that too: "In the case of you, the four of you don't have an arc because you ARE the arc yourselves, my arc." Struggles complains: "Why won't you just give up?", so I shrug my shoulders to that and state: "I suppose I can't help it. And... I'd love to inspire people who struggle themselves. In the end, I'm not a main character after all, hell, in this story I'm basically like the princess needing to be rescued from the dragon. But... I'd gladly be the supportive character in someone else's life, the person who inspired someone to keep getting back up, to keep going, the way I did." "Just stop talking already!", Struggles is annoyed, getting ready to fight once again already. So now... we get to Phase 2 of the battle against Struggles, now with me and the double axe I take out included, an axe that has an amulet embedded into its blade, which if opened would show a picture of Laila and me. Sure, I'm a pacifist, but this weapon is made specifically to deal with symbolic enemies... like what Struggles is. Phase 2 of the battle against this sinister and dark looking Beedrill begins.

Once again, Hope attacks with Pin Missile, Passion helps keeping the enemy from dodging with his spider string, Mnemosyne uses Aqua Tail and Kawan makes use of Play Rough. Meanwhile I attack with my axe, which both actually damages Struggles as well as making him more vulnerable to the attacks of the others. Struggles sends multiple gravity-defying waves of boiling blood, with me essentially cutting through it with my axe to make avoiding that more possible again. It's us who attack again then, inflicting more damage on the evil enemy who responds to that by summoning ropes around the necks of all of us, but we get out in time before it's pulled up. The antagonist continues getting hurt by the attacks of me and this half of my offspring combined, especially I am not holding back, making sure Struggles can see how much of a fighter I am. He summons the belly-mouth Celebi but I immediately cut it in half to kill it. He then has to take more hits from the good guys again, after which Struggles makes clock-hand-shaped stalactites rain down onto the battlefield once more, which is still also avoided successfully. "Stop it!", Struggles complains in an annoyed and angry manner, "Just give up and stay down!" "How about no?", I respond in a kind of mocking manner.
The insectoid villain growls and has to take hits from us yet again. Now he is trying to stab and sting with his needle arms and stinger but I keep my children safe by parrying that with my axe. He gets damage again, which only makes him more angry about how this battle is going now, though he isn't stopping either, now making all of us temporarily only see black, but I counter that by making my children glow for the duration of this darkness. They have always been my light even in my darkest times after all. Well, that makes this move useless for Struggles to use, so after taking more hits from us, he stops the darkness and instead attacks with a gigantic cross dropping down onto the battlefield, with us also successfully avoiding that. We continue to hurt him more before the enemy inflicts a feeling of anxiety onto all of us, intended to remain for the rest of the battle, though together, simply by fighting together, we can break out of this too. "STOP IT!", Struggles repeats more angrily, though I don't even take him seriously right now: "Nnnnope."
So then, after still having to take more damage coming from us, the opposing personification makes his wings temporarily turn into snake-esque shadowy appendages again, to attack with that, but we also dodge this. "We're on a roll, baby!", Kawan exclaims. We, Family Cinnamon, keep up the fight and damage output against the symbolic antagonist who now throws multiple axes all at once, but we all thankfully dodge this dangerous attack. After getting hit himself once again, Struggles shouts in frustration: "THAT'S ENOUGH!", now simply firing a huge powerful darkness beam to defeat all of us instantly. He laughs at how easily this ended up being taken care of, but.... we get back up, with Struggles just looking at that in disbelief, though just getting ready to fight against us all over again.
His attacks from this point onwards only become more aggressive and more difficult to dodge, making us inevitably fail to dodge all the time. But we keep up the fight and keep damaging him in the process too. Though eventually he just defeats us with another powerful darkness beam again... only for us to still get back up. "You can't do that!" "I always have.", the Demon Snivy that I am remarks. So we keep battling, with the attacks from Struggles getting harder and harder to avoid. We get defeated, over and over again. But we also get back up and start over every single time, all while the HP of Struggles slowly gets lower. This goes on for quite a bit until finally, we manage to get the healthbar of Struggles to zero, making him be the one to drop onto the floor defeated. But... much like us, he also ends up getting back up.

He laughs maniacally, pointing out: "Don't you see how POINTLESS this is? I AM THE REPRESENTATION OF ALL YOUR STRUGGLES! I keep coming back to you, I literally can't ever be defeated, I'll stick with you until the end of your pathetic life, making things difficult for you over and over again and there's nothing you can do to prevent that!" But I smile and give my response to that: "I know... but just like how you'll never stop attacking me... I will never stop fighting back. Tear me apart and I'll stitch myself together, scarred but undefeated. Because I'm... Hebi Cinnamon. This is me." Struggles has no words on this, unable to find a good counter-argument. We are essentially arch rivals to each other, but neither of us will ever stop the fight. So with that... the villain tells me: "You... You and your offspring... you can get back home... for now. But... I think both of us know we'll meet again many, many more times, after all." "I know.", I respond, "But just like you, I'm not staying down." As I get ready leave with my family, I make my stitches invisible again. They're not gone only because I don't visibly show them most of the time after all.
