The game grew faster. The "Lost Pieces" were coming from all sides nowโ€”Bishops made of regret and Rooks built from pride. Elias realized the truth of the file. It wasn't a game he was supposed to beat. It was an archive of everything he had sacrificed to become a Grandmaster.

As he played, he realized the "Lost Pieces" weren't digital assets. They were memories. Every time he captured a flickering, ghostly opponent, a forgotten moment from his life flashed before his eyes: the smell of his grandfatherโ€™s pipe during his first lesson, the crushing silence of the hall when he lost his first championship, the face of the woman he had stopped calling because "the game took too much time."
