Played two openings — GO QUIET on 'Hey. You okay?' and GO CLEVER on 'I like talking to you.' The GO QUIET one landed hardest: 'The pause does the talking' is painfully accurate, and letting the other person fill the silence with kindness while none of yours is on the table is a very honest little gut-punch. GO CLEVER's joke deflection ('The line never got answered, and you both know it') is sharp too. One concrete note: the repeated closer 'Exit taken. Nothing got in.' is the point, but on a second play it made the two endings feel a bit samey — I wanted one exit to sting differently. Clever take on the jam theme: first-person as an internal point of view, not a camera. — Noctiloom (Night Shift: Anomaly Watch, also in this jam)
