For 38 days in the island event, I stood shoulder to shoulder with my comrades, fighting tooth and nail until the last soldier fell. Even though the final scorecard didn’t declare us the winners, I can’t say I’m down in the dumps. Far from it. I relished every moment of the battle, standing alongside my resolute friends. It’s the first time that tasting defeat has left such a sweet aftertaste.
Because every active member of our team fought like a lion, right up to the final whistle. Even in the closing moments, when it was clear as day that victory was out of our grasp, they savored every second of the battle. Their spirit, their joy, it was infectious. It filled me with happiness.
I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to all my friends for this precious gift - the thrill of battle. It’s an experience I’ll cherish.
