Emotional Engine Updates

➕ “First 24 Hours in New City” Overstimulation Fix:

Final Note from the Dev Team (Hi, I’m N.I.N.A)

Dear user,

Travel isn’t broken. It’s just running on vibes and unsaved Google Maps pins.

This patch isn’t here to fix you — just to let you know that everyone’s winging it.

Yes, even that tan French guy who seems to always have exact change and know the good cheese.

So update your system, clear your cache, and keep roaming.

And if something crashes?

Just blame Elon.
