By the final rounds, the table held an improbable collage: half-remembered melodies, a fragment of a childhood scar, a note of a name, the loop of a laugh. The tokens glowed faintly, like coals respawning from heat. The players’ bodies were differently mapped now—scarred not by fabric but by stories slid under the skin. Where someone had been shy and armored, they now moved with a brittle, beautiful openness. Where another had been loose with jokes, there was a softened solemnity.
