Worth noticing
The narrator dates Maddie’s disappearance to October 2016 and connects the new signs to its approaching ten-year anniversary.

Field notes

The narrator locates the earlier part of the story at an old tree in City Park, where they say they found a faded note in Maddie’s handwriting. Its cryptic instruction becomes newly significant after the narrator spots two signs in the neighborhood. The page labels the sign images but offers little description of their contents, leaving the email invitation as the clearest route for adding observations.
