Chapter 4 Manual (read carefully because there are differences from the preceding chapters' manuals)

> Inputs in the command line must be 2- or 3-word combinations that you've pulled from the prompt for the chapter, shown above (with verbs highlighted in bold; every valid input combination will start with one of those verbs).

> Every input should look like this: verb second_word [optional_third_word]

> For example, if your initial prompt is "we love no other," valid inputs could be "love we," "love other," "love no we," "love other we," "love we no," "love other no," or "love no," among several others (different 2-to-3-word combinations of words from that initial prompt).

> Inputs with too many or too few words or words that are not from the prompt are invalid, and the terminal will tell you that there is nothing that it can do with the input.

> When you enter a valid input, it will generate an output that will subtly help guide you toward the correct input. That correct input will move you to the next stage within the chapter (or to the next chapter).

> Your inputs will always have a ->~ icon in front of them by default (but don't type that icon yourself), and the terminal's outputs will always have a > icon in front of them, like this:

->~ input

> output

> When you enter a correct input, you'll know that you've reached the next stage because you'll see an extra > icon in front of the terminal's outputs in that stage, like this:

>> Output in Stage 2.

or

>>> Output in Stage 3.

*****

> In this chapter, each valid input will start with the word "love" at every stage, since it is the only verb in the initial prompt.

> An input might generate fewer > icons in the output than you expect.

> Read the output you receive--to help you follow the story--then enter the same input again, and re-enter that input until the number of > icons in the output catches up to your current stage.

> That inconsistency between stage number and the number of > icons simply means that you never entered a particular input on a previous stage.

> Keep in mind that each stage in a chapter generally stands on its own, and an output from an earlier stage usually won't help guide you to the correct input of a later stage.

> But every output is there to help tell Tera's story.

> Type "clear" to clear the output history from the screen.

> Type "full text" if you get lost or prefer to read the chapter as a story. It will show you all of the chapter's inputs and outputs. It might take some time for the full text to load due to the complexity or length.
