As dawn began to break, there was no clear winner. The farmer's eyes were heavy with fatigue yet hopeful for victory; his spirit companion, weary from centuries without a true adversary. Yet, it was not until he realized the true cost of his addiction that he finally understood the value of life beyond the fleeting pleasures offered by alcohol and gambling.
