  • …blink in real life to advance time, instantly skipping minutes, months, or years inside a memory.
  • …hold your eyes open to keep a moment from ending, or close them to let a scene rush ahead while you just listen.
  • …use your gaze to pick objects marked with an eye symbol and make choices that reshape how a memory plays out.
