Upright
Winning at any cost loses something. Is this fight worth it?
A smirking man gathers swords while two defeated figures walk away under a stormy sky. Someone has won, but at a cost. Ask whether this fight is worth what it will take from you. Being right is not always the same as being happy. Sometimes walking away is the stronger choice.
