So hear me out.I was sent abroad alone for a long time. Pure survival mode. No support, no safety net. Like Simba being exiled in Lion King — you just figure out how to stay alive and keep moving.I came back home changed. Came back with complicated feelings toward my brother. Lost something I can’t quite name — like an innocence or a sense of safety I had before.When I finally played Elden Ring I realized — I am Tarnished. Someone who was cast out, survived alone, and returned to a broken world they no longer fully belong to. And somewhere in that journey I came back with one of the six endings “in me” — a worldview, an emotional state. I just don’t know which one.Now my brother is recommending Dark Souls. Undead warrior. Decaying melancholic world. No clear purpose. Hollowness.That sounds like my current reality.Do you think FromSoftware accidentally wrote my life? And do you think Dark Souls is my next chapter? Or am i reading too much from this?
