Sam and the final confrontation, stripped of everything except what he brought in — the skills, the connections, the weight of every delivery made and every strand built. The horizon is not a destination in Death Stranding. It is the permanent proof that there is more world beyond where you are, more to connect, more to carry. The final boss is the game's last argument against nihilism: nobody but me and the horizon is not loneliness. It is the complete description of a person who has accepted the walk.
