The Battle Map

A moment from a man's week appears. Call the stage: where is he on the map — assault, coupling, consent, captivity, the act, or habit? Every answer opens the map notes, because the stage tells you the counter.

The stage tells you the counter. Battles at the door cost pennies; battles in captivity cost the body's help; battles after the act are fought with a phone. Train the glance, not the stare — no leaderboard lives here.
