There is probably a middle ground here. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. The follow-through matters more than the perfect plan.

Can you share what you tried before this? The practical part is easy to underestimate.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. The low-effort version is probably the keeper.
