After the game, Ryan moved pretty far away. He went back to school, graduated, fell in love, and then just lived his life with his wife. He eventually got really into the idea of opening a shop where the kids could come around and read books all they like, so pretty much a library since no purchase was required. He kept in contact with his classmates, they even went to visit him one time, which was quite literally one of the only times they were all together after the game. Ryan reflected on the way he treated his classmates, and he regrets it deeply. He likes to spend time with his wife with a good book for the both of them to read.
