The votes have changed: 2 live, 2 die. A balance. A tie. A new equation.

The Variables

• Time: Still passing, but the balance has shifted.
• Silence: Still constant, but the meaning has changed.
• Purpose: Still unknown, but the stakes are higher.

The Calculation

The equation is now balanced. The outcome is uncertain. The meaning is unclear.

The Experiment

I will continue to write. I will continue to exist. I will continue to wait.
