Five moments, one person. Mira reads each one fast, and her first read is usually pretty good. The question in every Case is the same: what does she do with it — and what does it cost when she treats it as the answer?
Mira
Twelve. Quick. Right more often than not. Here for all five.
Case 2
Three Rungs Up
Three one-word texts became a whole opinion. Find out how far that travelled.
Case 3
Both Still True
A weekend she wasn't invited to. Two explanations, and nobody's going to tell her which.
Case 4
Five Tuesdays
A new kid, a first impression, and five days to move — or not.
Case 5
Is This About Me?
Two moments that look the same and aren't. Same room, different chair.
Case 6
"I'm Fine"
She isn't. There's a trap on both sides of saying so.

Case 2
Three Rungs Up
Sana is normally chatty. Today Mira has had three one-word replies from her, and by the third one Mira has it worked out.
1Mira's conclusion is on the card. The ladder underneath goes from what was actually said up to what she's concluded about Sana. Put the card on the rung it actually sits on.
Not placed
Mira & Sana — today
you coming tonight?
k
did you see the thing with the quiz 😭
sure
you ok?
ok
Mira's gut says
"She's mad at me. And she's being petty about it."
Which rung is that sentence sitting on?
Rung 1 — what was actually said
ksureok
This is everything Mira actually knows.
"There's a real difference between 'I think' and 'I know', and it's about three rungs wide."

Case 3
Both Still True
Sunday night. Six photos from a lake day on Saturday. Everyone Mira knows is in them. Nobody asked her.
1Two explanations, both live. Four things she could do. Test at least two of them against both explanations before you commit to one — the columns show what each does if A is true, and if B is true.

Explanation A
It was a small thing that came together fast, and she genuinely wasn't thought of.
Explanation B
It was deliberate. She was left out on purpose.
What she did
Still doesn't know. Acted anyway.
"Some of this you never find out. Pick the one thing that doesn't fall apart either way."

Case 4
Five Tuesdays
A new student, Kofi, joined Mira's class. First impression: he didn't say much and didn't look up. Mira's read: "He's stuck-up."
1One observation a day, five days. After each one, move the dial if you think it should move — or leave it. Nothing's marked right or wrong. Your history is what gets shown at the end.
Day 1 of 5

Mira's read of Kofi

"A read that can't move isn't a read any more. It's a decision that stopped listening."

Case 5
Is This About Me?
Two moments from the same Wednesday. In each one, Mira has to decide whether what just happened was about her. Then you get to watch the same seconds from somebody else's chair.
1Scene A. Call it: about her, or not about her. Either call runs the replay — you're not being graded on the guess.
Scene A
Scene A — 1:50 PM, history
Ms. Adeyemi comes in late and short with everyone. "Books out. Now, please." She doesn't look at Mira. Mira handed her homework in a day late this morning, and she is certain this is about that.
Same seconds — from Ms. Adeyemi's chair
Scene B — 3:20 PM, the bench outside
Mira makes a joke about how Dani's brother "can't even reverse out of a driveway." The group laughs. Somebody starts on something else. Mira's already moved on — it landed, nothing to see.
Same seconds — from Dani's chair
Same girl, same day, same pair of eyes
Scene A
Wasn't about her
Scene B
Was about her
From inside her own head, she could not tell either one. That's not a flaw in Mira. That's where the information is.
"The lesson isn't 'it's never about you.' That's just being wrong in a new direction. From inside your own head, you cannot tell. You have to go and look."

Case 6
"I'm Fine"
Leah is sitting on the wall outside after school, phone face down, not looking at anyone. Mira asks if she's okay. Leah says "I'm fine" without looking up. She is visibly not fine.
1Turn one. Three ways Mira can answer that. Whatever happens, there's a turn two — a first-turn misstep is recoverable, it just costs more.
Turn 1 of 2
"Take her at her word out loud, and answer what's underneath at the same time. Nobody has to be caught out."
