Because our world is improvised, some moments may touch on themes that feel heavy or close to home. If you ever find yourself needing space, we encourage you to pause, skip ahead, or step away entirely. There’s no wrong way to engage with this story — only what feels right for you. Your well-being will always matter more than any plot point.
