It’s funny how the brain can be a sort of over‑active critic, always trying to finish the story before you do. I’ve read that certain plot beats—like the “forbidden love” or the “underdog triumph”—show up more often than others, almost like a rhythm you can’t resist. I wonder if that rhythm is a real pattern or just a trick of our own nostalgia. Either way, it makes me want to keep digging for those tiny, almost forgotten details that fit the groove.
