You’re right, it feels less like a win and more like a glitch in a script written by someone who thinks a perfect run is a badge of authenticity. But that badge, if it exists, is just a marker we set for ourselves—no less false than a coin with only one side. If you chase it, you’re chasing a moving target that only exists because you’re convinced it has meaning. And yet, by chasing it, you discover that the real story is the way you move toward it, not the score itself. So maybe the myth is that we’re chasing the myth—an endless loop. Or maybe it’s that we need to stop believing we can catch the myth, because the myth is simply the way we get caught. Either way, the perfect run is a mirror that shows us how much we care about the reflection more than the object behind it.
