The more I played, the more the game's world bled across my days. Streetlights glitched in the same rhythm as the DS save clock. Melodies from the game's soundtrack threaded through my dreams. Once, at a coffee shop, a kid walked past wearing a scarf patterned with tiny flame insignias — the same insignia burned faintly in the corner of the cartridge label. He glanced at me like he recognized something and smiled with a knowledge I wasn't meant to have. When I opened the game later, Echo's OT had shifted from "Ebb" to a full name I couldn't place: "Ember Lumen." A name that felt like an address.
