They sketch out occupations, social relationships, and the societal pulse of bygone times.
This episode is a tapestry of historical intrigue, from the allegati's unexpected details to the sociological insights gleaned from passenger manifests.

It's a testament to the power of patience and attention to detail, akin to the precision of a well-played round of golf.
