The Poster
The idea: some true details are not causes; weigh the threads to find the one that mattered mostly.

The Honest Page
Which parts of this story are true, stretched or made up?
True
- A detail can be true and still not be a cause. One way to test it is to imagine it gone: if nothing else would change, it was not the reason. Source
- In group work, how jobs are shared out at the start makes a big difference to who takes part. Teachers often give each member a named role for this reason. Source
Stretched
- Fulcra's balance weighs reasons. What we simplified: Reasons do not really weigh anything; the balance is a way of asking which one mattered most, and people can disagree.
Made up
- Brightfield School and the river poster are made up. Manywhy, Lint and Fulcra come from ThreadForge, and Rheo from ShadeForge.
