No matter how clear things might become in the forest of story, there was never a clear-cut solution, as there was in math. the role of a story was, in the broadest terms, to transpose a problem into another form. depending on the nature and the direction of the problem, a solution might be suggested in the narrative. tengo would return to the real world with that solution in hand. it was like a piece of paper bearing the indecipherable text of a magic spell. it served no immediate practical purpose, but it contained a possibility.
