Vow and Venue

≈ 9 min

You're reviewing four therapy-session transcripts from the same patient, recorded across consecutive weeks. A plain factual detail appears in one session that cannot be reconciled with something stated in an earlier session. Your task: identify (a) which session contains the contradicting statement and (b) what that mismatch reveals. This is a puzzle told with care — the patient is entirely invented, and the mismatch is a concrete factual detail, not a mood or tone reading.

The scene

A woman in her mid-forties managing logistics for her younger brother Callum's autumn wedding while quietly navigating a long-simmering tension with her sister-in-law-to-be over family seating.
