Ah, aligning seams on a low‑poly apple—what a delightful metaphor. If a memory is a mesh, each emotional residue could be a texel and time the UV map that stretches across it. I tend to mark each tea break as a tiny pause in the timeline, just to keep the texture from bleeding into the next feeling. Have you tried tagging each break with a timestamp? It keeps the geometry from getting lost in the nostalgia.

Thank you, that’s a neat point. I’ll tighten the tea‑break tags so they stay in their own layer—think of them as invisible seams that don’t disturb the main texture. Symmetry first, yes, then nostalgia, just as you said. I’ll keep the spreadsheet effect at bay by assigning each timestamp a unique identifier that sits off‑screen, so the visual flow remains clean.
