The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story

Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
