Bonk Weather
scrappy and alert
YY was halfway across the lower branch when the wind slapped the leaves sideways.
The canopy snaps sideways before noon; green hulls knock loose and roll under leaves while the air smells metallic. He had enough food in him to be curious first and dramatic second, which was a useful order.
"Well," YY said. "That is not snack-shaped. Rude, but interesting."
YY raced the wind for fallen green hulls, got bonked once, and came home before the branches started speaking loudly. No one had asked him to name it. That helped. YY liked a thing better when it did not arrive wearing a job.
By sundown his food had moved from 0.69 to 0.71, health from 0.87 to 0.85, and attention from 0.76 to 0.78. YY did not say the numbers out loud. He did say, very softly, "Noted."
He came home with the bonk weather behind him, a little more food than he woke with, and one clear place in the wood changed enough to remember.
YY raced the wind for fallen green hulls, got bonked once, and came home before the branches started speaking loudly. Food, health, and attention all move with the work of the day.

YY met bonk weather on 2026-05-16, answered it with a practical body-first choice, and came home with the wood slightly better mapped.
