🤝 SIDE QUESTS DE CONEXÃO
26. Escreva uma carta à mão pra alguém. Não uma mensagem. Uma carta.
27. Ligue pra um familiar com quem você não fala há meses.
28. Elogie 5 estranhos num único dia. Veja o mundo amolecer.
29. Reencontre um amigo antigo. Sem motivo nenhum. Só um "pensei em você".

The damage is done. The only thing that matters now is making the best choice given your current position.
