🔑 Episode Summary:Today’s entry unlocks something quietly profound. A key and a long-lost invitation resurface, offering our narrator not an answer, but a question: what if memory itself is a gift meant to be passed on?

As Hearthlight continues to work its slow magic, this episode asks what it means to be chosen—not because you’re special, but because you’re willing. To carry something for someone else. To return a piece of their story, when they’re ready for it.

🪙 XP Gained:• 1 mysterious key• 1 invitation that knows where it belongs• 1 softly spoken quest to find what (or who) it unlocks
