10 · Editorial interpretation

A supplied car and a restoration commission offer different reasons to return to a garage. The Cheetah changes what a player receives later in the story; Wyman’s commission describes something to find and work on. That distinction helps explain the collection without guessing how long either addition lasts or how rewarding it feels.
