A nice read! Good game mechanics. Some interesting psychological dynamics on display with all the progressive checkmarks carefully crafted in and a perfect mellow ending!

I left with a couple of questions though. How did Mark and Kynie arrive so soon even though the time between Nathan's call and their arrival was barely one minute? Also, what was the cause of earlier down the stairs trump that made Nathan jump?

Congrats on Curie price?

You know, I read the story again and I take it back on "not addressing the noise down the stairs." You've addressed it, but in a very innovative way - in a symbolic plane! Trump, Trump, Trump is actually the sounds of new political reality that broke apart Kynie's family. Very slick move! Kudos!
