- The first choice asks whether to wake Theo or wait; the page cites a 54% lie-detection rate from a 2006 meta-analysis.
Field notes
The page builds its case through timestamped installments, character files, and a two-option decision rather than presenting the story as a single synopsis. Its supporting interface includes a 44/100 Trust Meter and a “Trust Tell” that cites a 2006 meta-analysis; the first vote is visibly closed with a zero tally. The page points voters to an Open Vault link, but the extract does not explain what access that requires.
