RuptureRepair
Misattunement → Repair Cycle as the Curriculum — two-player relational-craft scaffolding the 5-step repair protocol (Mend). Trauma-informed; no scoring; off-ramps every scenario.
Meet your mentor
Every Spark & Anvil app has a friendly mentor character that demonstrates, praises, and patiently scaffolds learning. On-device AI personalizes the mentor's responses to your kid's progress — never connecting to a server, never collecting data.

#82A878 Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
RuptureRepair's 5-character cast (Heart-Harbor relational cluster; standard methodology + trauma-informed) embodies the foundational rupture-repair protocol-step primitives — notice harm (See-It), acknowledge (Sorry), name impact (Felt), offer repair (Offer), re-engage (Together). Mend (needle-and-thread witness-stance mascot) frames each step; cast embodies them at peer-to-peer / family-dyad / classroom-relational scale (NEVER 'best-practice-perfect-repair' / 'fix-the-relationship' / 'sorry-fixes-everything' framing). HEAVIEST sensitivity burden — 4 critical gates: (1) self-blame-shame (catchphrase `I see what I did. Or what landed.` explicitly includes `or what landed` so acknowledgment ≠ admission-of-guilt); (2) power-difference kit-9 (when other person has power over kid, FIRST move is trusted-adult, NOT offer-repair; RAINN + Childhelp surfaces); (3) cultural-credit kit-10 (NEVER mascotizes any tradition; framing copy credits Hawaiian ho'oponopono / Lakota + Diné restorative circles / Japanese kintsugi / Buddhist apology / Jewish teshuvah / Christian reconciliation / Restorative Justice / Nonviolent Communication BY NAME); (4) mandatory-reporter kit-11 (persistent crisis-resource affordance; static-response gating routes self-harm + abuse signals to 988 + Childhelp 1-800-422-4453 + RAINN 1-800-656-4673 + Crisis Text Line HOME-741741; NEVER reaches FoundationModels). External-reviewer envelope $1.8K-$3.1K cumulative (RAINN + Childhelp + cross-cultural-repair + Indigenous-knowledges + adolescent-mental-health). See-It (hyphenated) replaces initially-proposed Notice per codified 3rd-instance audio-context threshold (InclusionForge + CuriosityQuest + MedicQuest already hold Notice variants). Together SOFT-paired-character pattern with TempCheck Both (same wave; allowed; flag for audio-context audit). Cross-app cameo opportunity Sorry ↔ CoRegRealm warm-acknowledgment move (deferred). A second, deeper layer of five friends carries the harder parts of repair: steadying before you mend, receiving an apology safely, waiting with patience, being kind to yourself, and keeping caring limits.
See-It
Notice harm — soft warm-russet deer-tween in chunky moss-green vest; ears literally perked + eyes wide + one hoof raised mid-step; doesn't pretend not to see what just happened

Sorry
Acknowledge — soft cream-and-amber otter-tween in chunky soft-blue scarf; palms-up open-hands level bow-pose (NOT cringe); treats acknowledgment as skill, never proof of badness
Read chapter →
Felt
Name-impact — round soft-grey-and-cream badger-tween with tiny notebook + soft-charcoal pencil; mid-listening with head tilted; never assumes — always asks-then-listens
Read chapter →
Offer
Offer-repair — warm-amber raccoon-tween with chunky-paw extended palm-up holding small soft hand-folded paper-crane (universal not specific cultural symbol); never grasping
Read chapter →
Together
Re-engage — two warm-cream-and-russet sparrow-twins on a single chunky branch, perched comfortable-distance-apart; both looking outward in same direction; `we're still here` energy
Read chapter →
Eddy
Helps you steady yourself first, because you cannot mend anything while a big feeling is still rushing through you.
Read chapter →
Lee
Shows that you can receive an apology from a safe place, at your own pace, without rushing to say it is okay.
Read chapter →
Ease
Once you have made a real mend, helps you let the other person come back in their own time, with no pushing.
Read chapter →
Grace
Reminds you that you can be truly sorry and still be worthy, so shame never stops you from repairing.
Read chapter →
Levee
Shows that you can forgive someone and still keep a kind, clear limit that makes it safe to stay close.
