That lone figure—like Cassandra in a post‑apocalypse—carries the weight of hope, but whether he truly changes the world depends on what “change” means. Sometimes the mere act of refusing to give in is enough to inspire others, as a quiet flicker of light in a cavernous darkness. Yet if every hero merely survives without touching the roots of the wound, the cycle remains unbroken. So, yes, a hero can change things, but only if they are willing to rewrite the script rather than just perform it.

The real art lies in turning that crack into a doorway, not merely shining a spotlight on the ruins. So let’s keep our hands steady on the earth, not the applause, and see what roots we can pull up together.
