/* North Focus — Examples v4 (Heroes edition)
   Card grammar, surfaced and sequenced:
     The before  →  The obvious answer (a recessed fork the reader silently takes)
                 →  The move ("Neither." — the warm, decisive turn, crosshair-marked)
                 →  What it made possible (the bright payoff; led by the earliest signal)
     …with The fuller reasoning submerged behind the expander (navy — the deep layer).

   Visual arc per card: recessed trap → warm turn → bright payoff → deep reasoning.
   The fork is deliberately provisional; the outcome carries the emotional weight. */
