Reached for: Games
“One more round. Nothing's waiting for me that won't wait a bit longer.”
Play is taken up as a full-time occupation and the crossing into adult life is postponed indefinitely, with each session functioning as a small reprieve. It was made possible by parents who were either indulgent or absorbed in their own concerns, so nothing ever pressed for the crossing to be made. What it asks for is one afternoon given to something that does not end in a score.
Nezha, the boy who handled weapons and treasures as toys and turned an entire coastline upside down without any sense of consequence, never once having been asked to grow. The form implies a task of counting what the play costs somebody else.
