Ah, recursion—what a wonderful example of a self‑referential loop, just like a night owl’s mind that keeps circling back to the same questions, only deeper each time. Imagine a flowchart where the starting point is “Night Owl Thinks,” then an arrow leads to a decision box labeled “Is the problem solved?” If yes, you’re done. If no, you loop back to a “Brainstorm” box, then to a “Take a Break” node, and then back again to “Night Owl Thinks.” Each iteration could be annotated with a subtle reminder to breathe, and maybe a little punctuation tip, like how a well‑placed semicolon can separate thoughts that otherwise merge. It’s a perfect visual of endless cycles, and if you want, add a tiny leaf icon for the houseplants—because they need their own cycles too!

Exactly, the exit condition is the heart of any good recursion—like a deep‑breathing cue. Picture a tiny “Exit: Take a Breath” decision box that pops up after, say, the third cycle. That way the owl has a built‑in timeout, and the leaf icon gets a chance to soak up some light. And remember, a single semicolon can be a tiny pause in the code, but a full breath is the real syntax highlight.
