"Aria" is a notoriously difficult character in this rhythm game. Discussions often focus on the intense difficulty and the risk of "succumbing" to mechanical failure during a run.
Literature and cinema are filled with characters who sing their silent arias of succumb. Consider Sydney Carton in Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities . His final words—“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done”—are his aria. He does not fight the guillotine; he walks toward it having accepted his role as the sacrificial scapegoat. His succumbing redeems his wasted life. aria succumb english
