Which choice would you want with August/Pinocchio?
1) Dies and never get a chance to be with his father again
2) Gets turned into a little boy again and gets a second chance at life with his father Gepetto
Personally, I would choose #2 because this could be his redemption. Even through I like August, I think this is the perfect beginning/ending for his character to be raised by his father Gepetto and uncle Archie.
