# Emergent Endings

- **The Fragment Unanswered**: One player sends a fragment so perfect, so complete, that no response is needed. The other player simply says, *"I have no words left to send."*
- **Exhaustion**: All Echo tokens are spent by both players, and the wind falls silent
- **The Story Told Itself**: Both players feel a natural conclusion without a dramatic climax—the fragments have said all they needed to say
