The Calm Card

The oh look moment is the kind that people live through quietly - the spike, the thing, the even-again - and almost never say out loud. So the game ends with a card that says it: how many reads you landed and the things that got you back to the calm.

What the Card Carries

• The reads. The spikes you met with the right thing, before the timer.
• The things. The small reliefs you named - the note, the hand, the second.
• The calm line. One short sentence that says how fast you got back to even.

Why the Card Is the Point

Anyone can feel the spike. The card is the part only you made - the read of which small thing actually takes the pressure off, called in the moment it was still climbing. In the oh look game that read is the thing you send back - not the panic, the even-again that came after it.
