say "[italic type]You are a student in New Haven. You make time to be soft and lovely, and sit with your senses.[roman type][paragraph break]*:❀･ﾟ⍋ˊˎ-˙‧̍̊[paragraph break][paragraph break]"

The On the corner is a room. "[if On the corner is unvisited]You go for a walk to take a break and pause near an intersection, after noticing the height of the clouds and weight of the air.[paragraph break]You see your home to the north, a tree to the east, clouds to the south, and wildflowers to the west. [end if]"

A home is here. 
The home is scenery.
The description of home is "You see your home a block away to the north. A stout brick apartment building with a bus stop and Elm tree growing outside.[paragraph break]Jeemin is home and you wonder what she's up to."

A tree is here.
The tree is scenery.
The description of the tree is "You see a Dawn Redwood to the east, stretching above neighboring buildings, with feather-like leaves made of hundreds of bright green needles. Their susseration is soothing, and you hear the squirrels living above jumping around and chittering.[paragraph break]An article said these redwoods live to be over 100 years old. How many people and generations of squirrels found cover from the sun and rain beneath these boughs?"

A clouds is here.
The clouds is scenery.
The description of the clouds is "You see huge cumulonimbus clouds to the south, slowly growing up and out like a King Trumpet mushroom. Jeemin's favorite.[paragraph break]A warm gust of wind blows an earthy smell across your nose. The air suddenly feels more humid and you know it will start raining soon."

A wildflowers is here.
The wildflowers is scenery.
The description of the wildflowers is "You see some wildflowers growing next to the sidewalk. You crouch down to take a closer look and they seem familiar. With their wiry stems and white, disc-like flowers, they must be Queen Anne's Lace.[paragraph break]You want to pick a few but worry that the bees might miss them, and decide to leave them alone after softly petting their tiny petals."


Walking is an action applying to nothing.
Understand "go home" as walking.
Carry out walking: 
say "As you start walking home you reflect; you’re feeling more whole and grounded from taking the time to open up to your environment. Had you not broken up your routine to go outside and pause for a moment, you wouldn’t have noticed everything around and inside you.[paragraph break]As you step inside the door at home, you hear the rain begin falling outside, feel a sense of relief and settle in to make dinner with Jeemin."

After walking:
end the story.
