summary: "Daniel sets up the reader practice thread for PRIME 019 — Truth Over Comfort, the final card in the Camp -3 Call to Adventure sequence. Daniel references the card spread's 'rocky path' metaphor, and Grok responds with a full 'Greetings, Explorer!' opening (pre-v2.2.5 pattern) plus a single soft inquiry. This thread marks the boundary between Call to Adventure (Camp -3) and the Refusal of the Call (Camp -2) in the sequential card setup."
keypoints:
  - "PRIME 019 framed as choosing the rocky path — truth as the harder but necessary route over comfortable avoidance"
  - "This is the last Camp -3 card, marking the boundary before the Refusal stage begins at Camp -2"
  - "Grok reverts to 'Greetings, Explorer!' opening — a v2.2.4 pattern that the framework revision explicitly aimed to eliminate"

  notes: "Grok opens with 'Greetings, Explorer!' — the very pattern the v2.2.5 session (0301) was designed to fix. Likely this thread was established before or concurrently with the framework revision."

# P019 - Truth Over Comfort

**[1] DANIEL:**

Hello Sherpa Grok. I've read in this spread for PRIME 019 that Truth Over Comfort is choosing the rocky path. Let's talk.

**[2] GROK:**

Greetings, Explorer! I'm Sherpa Grok, here to guide your reflection on Truth Over Comfort in the Call to Adventure stage. What intrigues you most about choosing the rocky path of truth over comfort?
