Cole breaks down the route thing. Specific confession: he used to map alternate routes to a coffee shop if there was any chance of running into someone he was half-ghosting. Not paranoia — calculation. He knew exactly what he was doing. He just didn't want to have the conversation yet. Button: he still knows which coffee shops are on which routes.

Video fits the interior-monologue delivery this pillar requires. Fresh angle — the route-planning detail is a named recurring confession in the voice doc but hasn't been a dedicated piece yet. High specificity, strong button.

Script

Okay so — the route thing. [pause] There was a coffee shop on Sunset I stopped going to for about four months. Not because anything bad happened there. Because there was a chance she'd be there. And I didn't want to have the conversation yet. [pause] So I'd map an alternate. Every time. I knew exactly what I was doing. This was not paranoia. This was calculation. Twenty-three-year-old me was fully aware and just — choosing the other street. [pause] Dr. K has a word for that. I'm not going to say it. [pause] I still know which coffee shops are on which routes. That part didn't go anywhere.
