A few notes from my attempt:

That last line is excellent. For me it came down to the tiny repair.

Maybe later got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The 9-minute rule is underrated.

The vibe here is immaculate. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Maybe later got my vote. The other choices are good, but this one fits my week. The São Paulo example makes it feel concrete.

I picked Maybe later, mostly because it feels easiest to live with. The Lisbon example makes it feel concrete.

Surprised more people aren't choosing Maybe later. It seems like the practical answer. Honestly, the simplest version wins for me.
