Esta ficha es solo tuya. La otra persona tiene objetivos y datos distintos. No intercambien pantallas hasta terminar.
Honest and solution-focused. A prepaid family trip begins Friday. You start. About 10 turns · 9 minutes.
Your screen only. Don't show it. Explain the course requirement, then build a late-arrival route rather than asking the family to wait without limits.
