STORY DIAGRAM
In almost all cases, the precedents will do something over time. This could be due to their own behaviors or because of how other things interact with it. Think about how you would, in words, describe this process. In each of these rectangles draw one time step of the behavior.
The memory of picking blueberries in meadow in Iceland.
Time would pass, you might no longer be in contact with that person.
But if they are somewhere with that same scent, the memories will come back of that original wearer.
Capturing the memory in scent.
People you encounter everyday form connection between scent and wearer.
