Immolationem Sui Ipsius - alternate self?

The Last is possibly an antagonistic character in Sburb: Refresh. Very little is known about her as of now, other than she appears to be related to Immolationem Sui Ipsius and has been causing problems for it. She is represented by a gold-yellow color.

## Biography

The Last, prior to appearing in Sburb: Refresh itself, appeared in the Sburb: Refresh Discord server. She was introduced to the readers by Immolationem Sui Ipsius, who described her as its friend. The Last then provided the readers with an ARG-like puzzle on Halloween of 2020, something she continued every Halloween.

In Sburb: Refresh itself, she has been mentioned once by ISI. This occurred during the Halloween 2022 event, and ties directly into the event itself. She also appeared in the post-apocalyptic lab during the generator's power fluctuations, casually watching the human exiles.

## Discord

Each year on Halloween, The Last has appeared on Discord, providing the readers with puzzles that reveal more about her.

### October 31st 2020

Halloween of 2020 marked The Last's first public appearance. She was introduced to the server by Immolationem Sui Ipsius, and she gave the readers a puzzle with the incentive that completing the puzzle will reactivate the Discord server's character bots.

Her messages were hidden in ISI's messages, and said that her first puzzle was just a test for herself. The puzzle in question was an SSTV signal that led to an image, describing the various human players while omitting their identities.

### October 31st 2021

On Halloween of 2021, The Last requested that ISI allow her to start another game with the readers. After completing her warm-up puzzle, The Last mentioned she was trying to form some sort of connection.

Her puzzles this year consisted of a difficult warm-up puzzle that involved converting black and white pixels to morse code, another SSTV signal, and a series of 4 questions. During the warm-up question, the readers were joined by Brook who solved the puzzle alongside them.

The SSTV signal led to another image, which in turn led to an incomplete YouTube link. The rest of the link was found within a temporarily corrupted version of Page 1249. The YouTube video is linked below (jumpscare warning!)

The Last then asked the readers 4 questions, each about the identities of Sburb: Refresh's main antagonists. Her text grew brighter as questions were answered correctly.

After this, The Last revealed her true name to be Immolationem Sui Ipsius, but states that she is not on the real ISI's side.

During the puzzle, Brook was in contact with most likely the Garrulous Collaborator, who informed her that they found The Last's messages originated from 2027, but they could not find a proper location. After the YouTube video was found, the power in the exiles station fluctuated briefly. This fluctuation was seen later in the comic itself.

### October 31st 2022

A week prior to Halloween of 2022, The Last posts an image of a picture of a puzzle piece and announces her return in a week. Upon brightening the image, a wooded area can be seen in the background.

On Halloween, The Last posts a link to a YouTube video entitled "first piece." In the video, The Last announces that her connection has been growing stronger and the readers have almost fulfilled their role. Before The Last can properly present the first piece, ISI interrupts the video, taunts her, and destroys the first piece.

The Last continues to post different codes, but ISI covers up vital parts of them, making them almost unsolvable. The Last decides she will have to get another person to solve her puzzles. She directs the readers to the secret room of Monobound, where she now makes a physical appearance. She tells the readers to find a hidden name in the secret room's narration, and informs them that the secret room takes place in an alternate iteration that appears to hold some importance. She also reassures the reader that Ashley, currently present in the room, is asleep and will not remember visiting it.

The hidden name in the secret room was found to be Yumeko. After receiving this name, The Last presumably meets Yumeko and manages to get into contact with someone else who solves the puzzles for her. The Last then links to another video entitled "passage."

The passage video opens with The Last explaining that her target resides in the real world, and thanks to her growing connection, she manages to cross into the real world and explores the woods. She states that she will have to leave soon to prevent dire consequences, but she will continue to cross into the real world to find her target. ISI realizes that The Last's goal is to find the creator of Sburb: Refresh's computer in order to delete ISI from the story. ISI admits it was not expecting this outcome, and informs The Last that she has a strict time limit. When ISI "takes over" in the comic, it will be too late to remove it.
