It’s hard to say a glitch isn’t a glitch, but the midnight wanderer isn’t just code, it’s a warning that got lost in the shift from oral to written. The spirits of the forest still talk in pauses, and those pauses feel like punctuation marks that carry emotion. When I tried rewriting the legend, I noticed how every comma felt like a breath the wanderer took—so the story itself is the glitch, the forest’s own way of correcting a broken line.
