  "narrative": "YY felt the thump in his paws before he heard it in his ears.\n\nNear evening the ground carries a soft repeated thump from beyond the meadow, and birds keep landing, listening, and taking off again. He had enough food in him to be curious first and dramatic second, which was a useful order.\n\n\"Well,\" YY said. \"That is not snack-shaped. Rude, but interesting.\"\n\nYY followed the thump to the meadow edge, traded one acorn-bit for dried apple, and came home humming badly. No one had asked him to name it. That helped. YY liked a thing better when it did not arrive wearing a job.\n\nBy sundown his food had moved from 0.83 to 0.85, health from 0.82 to 0.83, and attention from 0.91 to 0.93. YY did not say the numbers out loud. He did say, very softly, \"Noted.\"\n\nHe came home with the bad humming, good apple behind him, a little more food than he woke with, and one clear place in the wood changed enough to remember.",
  "stateNote": "YY followed the thump to the meadow edge, traded one acorn-bit for dried apple, and came home humming badly. Food, health, and attention all move with the work of the day.",
  "summary": "YY met bad humming, good apple on 2026-05-22, answered it with a practical body-first choice, and came home with the wood slightly better mapped.",
