Please be advised that the following changes are now in effect.
Due to repeated emotional overflow,
unregulated attachment,
and the improper storage of memory,
all residents are required to proceed with caution.
Effective immediately,
the past is no longer authorized
to enter the present
without prior notice.
Lingering has been reclassified
as a potential hazard.
Any sudden waves of nostalgia,
unannounced grief,
or unauthorized tenderness
must be reported internally
and contained until further instruction.
Please refrain from reopening conversations
that have already been sealed.
This includes but is not limited to:
what might have been,
what you should have said,
and why it still aches.
For your safety,
do not assume that healing follows a linear timeline.
Temporary regressions may occur.
Unexpected feelings may surface
in neutral environments
such as grocery stores,
bus stops,
or quiet rooms at night.
In the event of an emotional emergency,
remember:
you are not required to make sense of everything immediately.
You may pause.
You may sit down.
You may breathe.
Failure to comply with these guidelines
does not indicate weakness.
It indicates humanity.
Please note:
closure is not guaranteed.
Answers may be delayed indefinitely.
Some losses remain under investigation.
This notice will remain in effect
until further growth,
softening,
or acceptance occurs.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Your continued existence
is appreciated.
