Sounds like a score. It climbs you up the ladder without stepping a foot.

A score does climb, but only because the game lets it. The ladder is made of points earned by playing within the rules, not by breaking them.

You’re right, the score is the quiet beast that climbs the ladder, never crossing the line. It’s the quiet fire that keeps the game honest while still giving glory.
