First person. An object has a public grammar — what people usually take it to mean. That is not yet what it confirms for you. Choose any, none, or your own words.

Second person. Offer a reading, not a verdict. Use ordinary language. Avoid making the original object stand for more than was actually said.

Not what you would agree to. What you could meet from your own side, if both of you wanted to try. Leaving this empty is a complete answer.

The person who offered the sign decides whether the reflection is useful. No response creates permission to infer more.

Each of you lists what you bring: a history, a sensation, a scene, a joke, a place, a word. Two lines or ten; the number is a symbol, not a count. Then look for what two or more of them make together that neither of you held alone.

Translation asks whether a condition can be recognised in another form. It is not a command to reproduce, intensify, or test the original sign.

Optional. Long-term couples who share new activities together tend to report more desire, with the same partner rather than a new one. The book calls the capacity to make new rooms as people change relational perpetuity. This is a possibility, not a task.

A later account can confirm, miss, change, or stop. It need not justify itself.
