  • I don’t want to answer this one. But I’d like to ask you something small instead.
  • I’m not ready to share. But I’d love to hold your hand and ask you to guess what I might say.
  • Let’s pretend this question got eaten by our pet goldfish. Want to make up a new one together?
  • Can I skip — but offer you a hug or a memory?
  • I’d rather ask you something gentle.

Need to skip?

Trade any token for a CURIOUS. Ask later; return the token after you do.
