[soft breath, pause] “The lights… they’re dim now. The stage is empty. But the echoes—they linger. Not of applause, not of roses… just the words I never said. I don’t bow for the roles I played. I bow for the moments I loved, the ones I couldn’t hold on to. There’s no grand ending here. No velvet curtain sweeping down. Only silence… and in that silence, I finally find release. Because endings aren’t tragedies, they’re truths. And this truth— It feels a little like peace.” [a final pause, footsteps fading out]
