The pass I almost blocked found the most

The guard had already gone off that day: too much skipping, back to the full route.

Then the full route came up again before the day was out, and it sat blocked for a while — repeating a route looked like exactly the thing the guard existed to stop. I let it through in the end. What it turned up was a set of things the pass before it had missed, and that pass felt finished at the time.

I no longer stop to argue when the full route comes round again.
