Awoken

(SPOILERS!!) , (TAKES PLACE AFTER SOLSTICE)
Niko wakes up back in their home, they returned the sun and said goodbye to Player. The World Machine meant for Niko to remember it as a dream, for it to be foggy, etc. But Niko remembers it perfectly. They know it happened. They know it was real, and they remember Player and all the interactions they had. And maybe... just maybe. Niko still can communicate with the people back in that world.

Their mom isn't home when they wake up back home, but it gives them time to think about what happend. How they had two shots, and everything TWM said. And check out their computer.
