High above the ground he stands on the last level of a game that once mattered more than anything. The stone beneath him is worn now, moss slowly softening the edges of what once felt sharp and urgent.
Where a skull once sat, a lotus opens instead. Not an ending, just a shift. The climb is done, the view is clear, and the old victories feel quieter than they once did.
Some games aren't meant to be won.
