Something I thought a lot about, too, as I was finishing up #TheSovereign. It couldn’t just be X wins or X loses, because it’s all so much more complicated than that. In short stories, I call this a moment of aperture, which I stole from S.

I've been thinking a lot lately about my dislike of most boss battles as they fit into plots and why they often feel flat to me, because the action lacks enough emotional punch, and I think it is because what I most crave, in the end (if there is a victory), is a reckoning, not a win.
