The Hero’s Journey begins not with action, but resistance. In this first episode of the arc, The Architect speaks into the subtle, aching restlessness that precedes transformation. The “call” is not romantic. It is often inconvenient, disorienting, and unwelcome. But to ignore it is to betray something vital. This episode is for those who have postponed their path too many times. It does not demand you leap, only that you stop lying.
