While the overarching plot and progression remained the same, new arcs and dialogue options would appear for each replay of the game.

I needed to rest after being in the practice rooms for the entire day so I walked outside and laid down on the pavement in front of the auditorium.

I was working on a research project for a linguistics class and I brought in a book to discuss with my professor. We talked about how the methodology for certain studies were flawed/problematic despite the fact that I had barely read any of the articles.

We were hiking when I found a bolt lodged into my right knee. At first I only found it with my fingers, by feeling the unnaturally smooth spot next to the head of my fibula. When I had my finger on the spot, I looked down to see my flesh and blood around the silver head.
