Answer:
One of the themes in “Games at Twilight” is the insignificance of individuals. The last line in the story reveals Ravi’s state of mind when he finds out that his desire to win kept him inside the shed for too long. When he finally rushes out to touch the den, he discovers that his friends have moved on to another game and no one noticed his absence. He is shamed and pained by the idea that his friends have forgotten him. Ravi’s feelings connect to the story’s theme of coming of age. The final sentence shows how Ravi is faced with a feeling of not only being removed from his family and friends, which is a change everyone must go through, but also his place in the universe.
