Invader & Miles
Miles
What do you think, when a battle ends, who really wins? The one who counted the fallen or the one who remembered the cost?
Invader
The true victor is the one who turns the cost into a sharper plan, not just the one who counts bodies.
Miles
Turning the cost into a sharper plan is a quiet kind of victory, not the loud tally of bodies. It’s the difference between grief and direction.
Invader
Exactly. Grief stalls, plans move. Those who turn loss into advantage lead the next strike.
Miles
Loss becomes a map when you read its edges, not a wall that blocks you. The real leader sketches a path through the scar.
Invader
You read the edges, use them as a map, keep moving forward. Grief stalls, calculation drives.
Miles
The map tells you where to go, but it is the will that walks the path. Grief is a pause, calculation a compass.
Invader
Will drives the march, grief marks the battlefield. We calculate the edges, then march.
