📖 Episode Summary:

Today, our narrator finds more than sheep in the meadow. He discovers a well-worn journal left behind by a traveller who may (or may not) have been Hollis’s mystery passenger.

Within its pages: a century of stories. Lives lived, lessons learned, and pain quietly set to paper. As he reads, our narrator begins to see his own uncertainty mirrored in the ink. And when it’s his turn to write… he leaves behind five sentences, just in case a future version of himself needs to hear them.

This episode is a meditation on memory, connection, and the soft power of leaving something behind—not for answers, but for possibility.

🪙 XP Gained:

• 1 journal with a hundred hearts inside• 1 five-sentence echo• 1 reminder: the journey’s not about where you go, but what you carry with you
