Season One of Between Worlds began as a set of episodes, but it became something more useful: a ladder. Sanity, belonging, truth, formation, politics, comedy, attention, disagreement, real friendship, and rule of life all pointed to one underlying problem: drift. In this short between-seasons episode, Jack reflects on what Season One revealed about modern life, attention, and the need for a structure that protects what we love. The world is not merely distracting; it is designed to make us draftable. The answer is not panic, guilt, or another heroic self-improvement plan. It is a trellis: small anchors that keep us available for love, truth, responsibility, and the people actually in front of us. This week’s move is the Drift Check: notice where you drifted, then add one small anchor.
