Journey's End

by Crystalliced

This is the beginning of the end.   Game Over is such a peculiar thing. A temporary nuisance, at best. A few clicks at most, and you’ve loaded your last save point and prepared yourself for a second round. Because, after all, you’ve learned, through death. You know what happened, and why you died. With this second chance, you will take what you learned and apply it to your new strategy. If you mess up, or the obstacle you face adapts, you lose. Again. So what? You can just keep trying, over and over again. But in a real fight, there is no second chance to fall back on, and a Game Over means permanent death in a temporary life.
