Field notes
The example centers on a friend who blames himself after his sister dies in a fire, giving the choice system a concrete emotional test. The options range from grabbing his jacket to offering a hand or silently watching what he holds. The page describes longer-term consequences too: shards can unlock impulses, while cracks may cost the traveler a whole perspective. Navigation labels include Rules, Maps, Moves, and Materials.
