Whatever tradition you came out of, the rebuild follows a pattern. First you leave. Then you grieve. Then you figure out who you are without the container that used to hold your identity. Then — slowly, with setbacks — you build something new. Maroúsi is where that sequence is playing out for you right now. Rage 2 Rebuild exists because the rebuild is the part nobody talks about, and the part that matters most.
