It’s as if you’ve spent a lifetime in pursuit, tirelessly honing your craft, only to meet the moment you’ve long awaited—and falter. In that instant, the prize you held so tightly slips through your fingers, drifting out of reach, lost forever.
Every step, every sacrifice, has led you here, only for the dream you chased so relentlessly to dissolve before your eyes.
The weight of expectation presses down, and the failure burns deep, rending your heart in waves, relentless in its ache.
But at the end, where defeat seemed inevitable, something unexpected awaits. There, beyond the finish line, stand the ones you love most—cheering, smiling, their eyes bright with pride. Their applause whispers a truth louder than your loss: that second place is but a number. In their eyes, you have always been, and will always be, their champion.
