Section Focus

Returner runs, Fear climbs, and high-pressure pushes are not the same problem.

Recommended Order

Order	Page	Problem It Solves
1	First Fear Step	add readable pressure before stacking everything at once
2	Surface Fear or Underworld Fear?	let the weaker progression line choose the first practice ground
3	When Fear Stops Teaching	once failure stops teaching, switch the pressure source
4	Returner Fear Reset	restore reads and resource feel before re-raising pressure
5	Fear and Build Mismatch	many bad climbs are build mismatches, not difficulty alone
6	Boss Readiness Under Fear	read damage, margin, and stability together before the boss
7	Review a Close Fear Loss	identify which fear condition dragged the run hardest
