Content notice — MATURE

MATURE. Every named character is an adult with an age on the page: Nesta Fallow 38, Emrys Cadwallader 35, Delyth Prosser 46, Perys Vaughan-Okoye 52, Hywel Bowen 61. The youngest is 35. No minor appears in any role, memory, photograph, joke, plan or future reference. Sexual content is written on the page, not implied, between two consenting adults. What each wants and what stops it is said out loud in words before anything begins on every iteration in which it is asked for, and either may stop it with one word. On fifteen iterations the asking is not made: that is a withdrawal of consent by the man who introduced it, it is named as such in the script, and its cost is carried into the last page. The intimacy is never a reward. Nothing in this story is hidden: the whole mechanism is stated in the first hour of the first scene and restated as nine rules that the two of them tested and got wrong about twice. Nobody lies to anybody and there is no betrayal and no clue to assemble. Themes: a time loop at 19:00 GMT every Tuesday for four years and one day, an intimacy rebuilt from nothing two hundred and eight times, the loss of the first year off the front of one person's memory, and a changeover panel with the key in it that nobody walks through. No violence, no injury, no weapons, no drugs. A death is referenced as an absence from a photograph and is not depicted. No slurs are written out. Pendraig Time Standards Laboratory, the Cwm Gof quarry, Llandysul, and every person, institution and instrument in this story are invented. All music is instrumental; there is no voice acting. No content in this project is generated, fetched, or bundled at build time.
