Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Though the work is intended to be multi-linear, readers are guided to it via both the default navigation and the structure provided by guard fields programmed into the work. The point at which readers discover this passage impacts their experience with the plot. Arriving at it as the second lexia in the default path, for example, prepares readers for narrator's emotional turmoil expressed in other lexias.
