The Polaroid Timeline
String up your whole story and let the last frame do the asking.
“Every one of these got us here. Last frame stays blank til you say HOCO.”
Print 8 to 10 of your best photos together as Polaroid-style shots and clip them along a string in order, oldest to newest. Leave the very last frame blank except for the question in Sharpie. Hand them the string rolled up, or hang it on their locker so they read it left to right and land right on the ask.
