The screen flickered, casting a pale blue glow across Alex’s face. 3:47 AM. His thumb ached, and his eyes burned. Level 12 on Sky Force Reloaded . Again. The relentless flak cannons, the screaming missiles, the sheer impossibility of rescuing the last stranded civilian before his bomber turned into a firework display.
The challenge was gone. The frantic near-misses, the desperate last-second bomb drops, the joy of a perfectly executed dodge—all erased by three keystrokes. He stared at the mission select screen, a hundred perfect scores staring back. It felt hollow. Like winning a race on a motorcycle against toddlers.
