"""The emotion board — the second level, reached from the animal board.

Grid geometry note: a 4x4 grid graph is bipartite, so start/⏎ placement
fixes sentence-length parity. With start at (1,1) and ⏎ at (2,3) (Manhattan
distance 3), walks have odd hop counts and sentences even word counts -- which
is what makes a two-word read like "not sad" reachable.
