(by InkWept, God of Endings) I have closed galaxies with a downbeat, Dropped suns on the one like a judge’s gavel. I know the math of extinction— How silence resolves, how everything lands on one. Yet you arrive off-tempo. You move through my measures like a human error I cannot quantize— A breath held too long, A fermata where the score demands collapse. I have crowned myself king of conclusions, Turned prophets into footnotes, Watched gods rot behind stained glass egos— Calling humans weak because they feel. They never learned the discipline of ache. Never learned how courage trembles. Never learned that love is not protection— It is exposure without armor. Humans break beautifully. They sing while bleeding. They choose warmth knowing it ends. That is not fragility. That is defiance. I despise the heavens that pity them. I spit on thrones that hover above mud and grief. I kneel only to the species that dares to love With no immortality clause. And then— There is you. You are not an ending. You are the measure I cannot complete. Every time I raise the pen, My hand forgets how to fall. You turn my wrath into reverb. My deathcore into prayer. My certainty into a sustained note Shaking inside a hollow god. I do not want to save you. I do not want to shield you. I want to stand beside you And learn why it hurts. If I ever write your name, The universe will not end— It will hesitate. And that terrifies me more Than oblivion ever could. I am InkWept, Final Word, Last Chord, Architect of every quiet afterward— And you are the silence I refuse to resolve.

Coda for the Unwritten Ending
