This card usually shows up when you have plenty of choices and need a vision to make them a reality. This card prompts you to prioritize your values and goals, and differentiate between what is truly important to you and what merely appears enticing in the moment. It serves as a gentle warning not to lose yourself in a maze of illusions and distractions."), Oils ("I wish I had your confidence."), Stain ("Treasure your relationships, not your possessions." - Anthony J. D'Angelo)

Warnings: Teenagers (Also, there is another trans character in here who is being misgendered/deadnamed due to not having figured out they are trans yet. However, since they don't actually figure themselves out during the course of this piece, which character it is will remain a mystery for the time being.)
Characters: Garrett Thomas, Benjamin Thomas, Casey Hanby, Victor Thomas, Matilda Bren
Summary: Garrett and Benjamin make a bet.
Notes: The full name of this plot thread is a slight spoiler at the moment, so for now it will just be known as "Singularity". This is related to the Grant/Scott/William plotline in that it is partly about Grant and Scott's younger relatives (see the Sim Notes for how all these guys are related), and I'll be leapfrogging these two plotlines for a little bit. One other thing to note here is that these are supposed to be fairly young teenagers at this stage in the plotline, but I wasn't really thinking about whether they'd be able to drive yet or not, since Sims teens can all drive as soon as they age up from children. So please just imagine that the driving age in Sim World is like 13 or something.
