Weekly pulse: readers are building short paths
The active short path is now one origin story, one direct answer, and one witness story. People are using Commons to compare entry points.

Path: refusal, witness, then a different genre
Try &[The Blue Door], then &[Crimson Room], then &[Ash in the Hallway]. After that I want a path that leaves the house entirely.

Path: start with the door, then follow the aftermath
This order works because each story changes the distance from the original room: invitation, refusal, witness, then ordinary care.
