The revelation wasn’t a single act, but a pattern: the quiet ways ambition had hollowed him out, the compromises that had seemed small until they accumulated into something unbearable.

People saw in him the terrifying possibility that you can win almost everything and still lose yourself. His confession didn’t demand forgiveness. It offered a mirror. And for many watching, the hardest part was recognizing their own reflection staring back.
