Destiny 2: Unknown Space Chess Puzzle

Two minutes and nine seconds of a puzzle that sits at the intersection of Destiny's two great theologies and refuses to adjudicate between them. The Light as memory and the Darkness as forgiveness is a more interesting framing than the game usually allows itself — the idea that what the Darkness offers is precisely what the Light cannot, the erasure of consequence rather than its preservation. The Traveler watches. This has always been the uncomfortable truth at the center of Destiny's cosmology, and the puzzle sits inside it without resolving it.
