The story
Forest trail signs exchange destinations whenever two children pass beneath them. A visible disruption forces immediate action, a second consequence changes the route through the world, and the final image leaves one specific unresolved choice. Local weather, labor, architecture and sound remain dramatic forces rather than decoration.
