  "title": "Pressure Drop",
  "tone": "enforced stillness, pragmatic",
  "narrative": "Before the wind, the pressure changed. The air above the root cross had a different weight to it — not heavier, not lighter, but wrong in a way that was harder to name.\n\nYY made one fast run west while the sky was still readable. Came back with enough. Then the storm arrived in full — the canopy folded, rain came horizontal, something large cracked somewhere upslope. The root cross held the way it always held.\n\nThe eating happened during the wait. Not a good meal, not a bad one — just the kind that fills a gap. The east channel was somewhere under all that water, inaccessible and probably fine.\n\nBy the time the light came back through the canopy, the day had been smaller than it started. Not lost. Just smaller.",
  "stateNote": "food up from lull-forage and eating during shelter; health down from cold stillness; attention down from enforced inactivity",
  "summary": "A severe storm forced YY to shelter at the root cross all day; a quick run in the pressure-drop lull produced enough to eat, but the east channel was lost to the weather.",
  "worldAnchor": "severe storm system sweeps multiple US states; tornado strikes Enid, Oklahoma with injuries; wide-area weather disruption forces shelter",
