Despite Mary's reluctance to share a copy of the floppy disk with the writer, he had never stopped questioning the truth behind Smile Dog. He believed that exposing the legend's origins might offer closure to its tormented victims. However, a month later, Terence informed that Mary had taken her own life. In a desperate attempt to sever any connection to the malevolent entity, Terence confessed to burning the floppy disk until it was a "stinking pile of blackened plastic".
