We pick obscure days, slip into characters—from Anders at a 1904 Norwegian telegraph, to Calista in Alexandria, to Ameena in 14th‑century Timbuktu—sensory details and surprising encounters and quiet discoveries unfold.

We set the scene in Kathmandu and trace the Sept 4–12 uprising—from a social‑media ban and a ₹14 billion airport embezzlement to deadly police crackdowns, the storming of the government complex, and an interim transition.

We brainstorm practical, low-friction tools to get Claude Silver’s Be Yourself at Work into libraries—building playful landing pages, ISBN request widgets, reverse-proxy branding, school‑library templates, and outreach strategies.

We brainstorm a grassroots book launch: build a city-to-library purchase-request tool, a one-pin reader map with optional notes, and a future-self time-capsule email—covering tech, costs, moderation, and rollout.

We dig through a 459‑page dossier, unpack Act One beat‑by‑beat: Adrian’s quiet collapse via scopolamine‑laced clay, Victor’s revenge, the cats’ intuition, and Olivia’s shattering low that ignites her arc.
