Verse 1 — Moss Log Stage

Spencer starts:
Turn the wheel until one window clears.
A short blue line slips through the moss.
It reaches rain-chain corner quickly,
but one dark patch crosses its way.

All: New starter, new clue.
No one keeps the lead.

Verse 2 — Second Start

Austin starts:
Turn the wheel until the second window clears.
A longer gold line bends around the dark patch.
It takes more steps,
but the ground beyond it looks dry.

All: New starter, new clue.
Two useful signals can disagree.

Verse 3 — Third Start

Lillian starts:
She holds the blue window over the near ground.
The dark patch matches the wet earth exactly.
The shorter route is rejected,
but its shape becomes the safety check.

All: New starter, new clue.
A rejected idea can still help.

Verse 4 — Fourth Start

Zylar starts:
He turns the gold window toward the dry bend.
Spencer points to the matching edge.
Austin checks the clear step space.
Lillian holds the wheel steady.

The group reverses before moving farther.
Chalk courtyard stays hidden.

Irreversible Turn

The blue route will not become the path.
It becomes the wet-ground check instead.
The verse chain cannot return to guessing;
every new start must compare clue and ground.

Final Scene — Rain Chain Corner

At rain-chain corner, the wheel rests closed.
Spencer lowers his pointing hand.
Austin stands beside the clear dry edge.
Lillian holds the blue and gold clue cards together.

Zylar raises one open hand toward the path.

No one explains it.
The group looks, waits, and leaves room.
