  "narrative": "YY heard the fence post click while he was pretending not to watch it.\n\nA dry knot in the old fence post splits open with a papery click, and a dusty moth crawls out into the sun. His stomach made a small legal argument. YY overruled it, then listened to it anyway.\n\n\"That,\" YY told the air, \"goes in the column.\"\n\nYY fetched Mira to witness the opening, and the ledger got quieter than usual around the word release. Before the day was finished, the the thing had to be read at Mira's bend, because that was apparently who he was now: squirrel, witness, small moving footnote.\n\nBy sundown his food had moved from 0.49 to 0.52, health from 0.86 to 0.87, and attention from 0.76 to 0.78. YY did not say the numbers out loud. He did say, very softly, \"Noted.\"\n\nHe came home with the release, written small in the day behind him, the ledger-seat still real, and tomorrow already making space for another reading.",
  "stateNote": "YY fetched Mira to witness the opening, and the ledger got quieter than usual around the word release. Food, health, and attention all move visibly; the ledger records the encounter without taking it over.",
  "summary": "YY carried release, written small into Mira's ledger on 2026-05-15, using the day's physical sign as another reading while keeping the role useful and bounded.",
