Strings are the main way in which the rules support the core idea of narrative matters. A String at its core is a short phrase or single sentence with impact on one or more characters.

Now let’s attach a character to the string, after a colon: ‘Hunted by Inspector Luther: Iris’. This means that Iris (player character) is affected by the String's condition.
