The final tower cuts a stark silhouette against a bruised twilight sky, rain sheeting down to slick the metal platform underfoot. Gi-Hun stands motionless, a newborn infant cradled against the soaked fabric of his shirt, her shallow breaths the only whisper of life in the crushing quiet.

"I can't… I just can't." The words hang in the air, stripped bare. He looks at you, hunting for an answer that doesn't exist.
