Christian, I'm glad you won out over your inner Gollum and left "The One (white) Box" until a more opportune time. 🐲 (I love that "Some x" mechanic btw!)

Me too. The Gollum path doesn't tend to end well. It was a pretty desperate time. New school, no new friends yet, and all the anxieties of puberty.

Ugh. That happened to me as well. Moved at 12 years old during the LAST quarter of my 1st year in middle school. Everyone else was already established & had friends. Bonus: I had NO IDEA about the curriculum they were teaching, so I basically was the proverbial pubescent pisces out of water. It's ok though - I got over it a few decades later! 🐟
